Manager Rivalry
It all began when Geno Moss secured a domestic treble with fierce rivals Glasgow Rangers that Victor Hugo took huge offence to.
Being a life long Celtic fan singing along to their famous tunes down at Celtic Park, it certainly brought an abrupt halt to proceedings – bringing him into football management.
Victor in his past life may have been a failure both at dancing at the disco quite abysmally, and also as a heavy legged boxer looking the fool. He does however seemed to have found the right formula as a football manager.
It will be a clash of both personalities and styles in the Manager vs Manager story. Victor huge on youth and poaching all the best youngsters about - be it legally or illegally.
Where as Geno Moss prefers tried and trusted players, much like his idol Jose Mourinho - with both managers very honest and loved by all of their players whomever they manage in the dressing room.
Club Rivalry
vs
Both managers have ended up at posts of French club’s with great history, but not a lot to show in recent times.
Victor Hugo takes the reigns at Olympic Marseille. Former Champions League winners can he bring the French side to glory?
And then Geno Moss at Lyon. A club that have been competitive but never tasted any success in European competition. Is that something I’ll be able to change?
The two clubs are fierce rivals domestically, and it’s not a rare occurrence to see the two sets of players brawl on and off the pitch.
Let’s just hope these two managers don’t bump into the same Café one free weekend….at least both managers will have one thing in common – knocking PSG off their comfortable perch.
