Why Pep Guardiola met with Jurgen Klopp the day after Man City's defeat to Liverpool

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.

Full list of pictured attendees:  Jurgen Klopp (Liverpool FC), Maurizio Sarri (Juventus Football Club), Zinedine Zidane (Real Madrid CF), Pep Guardiola (Manchester City FC), Carlo Ancelotti (SSC Napoli), Thomas Tuchel (Paris Saint Germain), Erik ten Hag (AFC Ajax), Unai Emery (Arsenal FC), Sergio Conceicao (FC Porto), Paulo Fonseca (AS Roma), Rudi Garcia (Olympique Lyonnais), Massimiliano Allegri and Mircea Lucescu.
