Pep Guardiola and Jurgen Klopp were among the top managers who attended the UEFA Elite Club Coaches Forum in Nyon today (Monday).

The Manchester City and Liverpool managers and several other high-profile bosses were all in attendance at the conference in Switzerland.

The pair met just a day after tempers flared at Anfield in Man City’s 3-1 defeat — a result that saw City slip nine points behind their rivals in the race for the Premier League title.

Other big names who attended included Real Madrid boss, Zinedine Zidane, Juventus head honcho, Maurizio Sarri, and Arsenal’s Unai Emery.

The annual event, first held in 1999 — and regularly chaired by legendary former United boss, Sir Alex Ferguson — gives UEFA the chance to listen to top coaches’ views on the game’s big issues.
