SEJUMLAH manajer top dunia berkumpul di pertemuan manajer tahunan di markas besar Asosiasi Sepak Bola Uni Eropa (UEFA) di Nyon, Swiss.
Pada pertemuan pada Rabu dan Kamis, mantan bos Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson memimpin pertemuan ke-16 Elite Club Coaches Forum setelah didaulat sebagai duta pelatih UEFA, tampak hadir Presiden UEFA, Michel Platini.
Ferguson tampak bergurau dengan mantan kompetitornya, Arsene Wenger, saat bos Manchester City Manuel Pellegrini juga tampak pada acara tersebut.
Namun, manajer Manchester United anyar, Louis van Gaal dan bos Liverpool Brendan Rodgers tidak menghadiri pertemuan itu, seperti dilansir MailOnline.
Pertemuan yang cenderung ekslusif ini berlangsung di sela padatnya liga-liga di Eropa musim ini, tanpa dihadiri Van Gaal.
Manajer Chelsea Jose Mourinho tampak hadir para mantan pelatih di Stamford Bridge, Andre Villas-Boas, Rafael Benitez dan Carlo Ancelotti.
Luis Enrique duduk di samping mantan manajer Barcelona Pep Guardiola dan berharap meniru keberhasilan dinikmati oleh salah satu pendahulunya di kursi panas Nou Camp.
Pertemuan - yang pertama kali diadakan pada tahun 1999 - memungkinkan pelatih top Eropa untuk membahas poin yang berbeda dalam permainan, termasuk berbagai kompetisi klub, isu wasit dan pengembangan permainan sepak bola modern.
Konferensi pelatih ini melengkapi kalender tahunan UEFA pada awal setiap musim, untuk berkontribusi pada proses pengambilan keputusan di badan sepak bola Uni Eropa.
Bos Sevilla Unai Emery, manajer AC Milan Filippo Inzaghi dan Laurent Blanc - yang berada di kursi panas Paris Saint-Germain lebih dari setahun - termasuk di antara para tamu.
Direktur Perwasitan UEFA Pierluigi Collina dan Sekretaris Jenderal UEFA Gianni Infantino juga hadir dalam pertemuan tersebut.

A HOST of the world´s top bosses have joined forces for the annual managers´ meeting held at UEFA headquarters in Nyon, Switzerland.
On Wednesday and Thursday, former Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson chaired the 16th Elite Club Coaches Forum meeting as UEFA´s coaching ambassador while president Michel Platini was also present.
Ferguson was pictured sharing a joke with former nemesis Arsene Wenger, while Manchester City boss Manuel Pellegrini was also snapped at the event.
However, Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal and Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers did not attend the gathering.
The meet-up is often exclusive to bosses whose sides are in European competition this term, which would exclude Van Gaal.
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho attended the meeting as well as former Stamford Bridge bosses Andre Villas-Boas, Rafael Bentiez and Carlo Ancelotti.
Luis Enrique sat next to former Barcelona manager Pep Guardiola and will be hoping he can emulate the success enjoyed by one of his predecessors in the Nou Camp hotseat.
The meeting - which was first held in 1999 - allows Europe´s top coaches to discuss different points in the game, including various club competitions, refereeing issues and to debate the game´s overall development.
The conference has become a yearly fixture on the UEFA calendar at the start of each season, making a contribution to the continental body´s decision-making processes.
Sevilla boss Unai Emery, AC Milan manager Filippo Inzaghi and Laurent Blanc - who has been in the Paris Saint-Germain hotseat for just over a year - were among the guests.
UEFA´s chief refereeing officer Pierluigi Collina and UEFA general secretary Gianni Infantino were also on hand for the discussions.
