Top 10 Most Hated Soccer Players and Managers

Top 10 Most Hated Soccer Players and ManagersWhile the beautiful game has given us plenty of joy and excitement, it also has its share of reviled figures who are hated for their behaviour, be it on the pitch, or off it.

10.) Marco Materazzi

Marco Materazzi will unfortunately be remembered by many as the player who ensured that there would be no glittering end to Zinedine Zidane’s career. His untimely comment regarding Zidane’s sister resulted in the French playmaker getting his marching orders (after headbutting Materazzi in response) in the 2006 World Cup final. In the eyes of many, it also cost France the trophy.

9.) Jens Lehmann

The former Arsenal and Stuttgart goalkeeper has done plenty of eccentric things in his life to earn his place in this list.

Mad Jens has stamped players, relieved himself behind an advertising board, thrown water over the referee, and has been involved in a war of words with several of his colleagues. A cocky attitude- he once said that Manuel Almunia was “not in his class”, didn’t help things either.

8.) Diego Maradona

The Argentine legend was a genius in his own right and also guided his team to two successive World Cup finals.

The English hate him for the “Hand of God”, while his own selection policies as Argentina manager (not including Cambiasso and Zanetti in his squad for example) have earned him his fair share of detractors. Not to forget the whole ephedrine incident that saw him miss USA’94.

7.) Jose Mourinho

The most successful people also make plenty of enemies. And where the self proclaimed “Special One” is involved, the list is a little longer than normal.

Mourinho has never been afraid of speaking his mind, even if the remarks involved calling Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger a “voyeur” and branding Andy Johnson as “untrustworthy”.

6.) Robbie Savage

In his heydays, Savage was one of the most hated figures in the Premier League. The blond haired midfielder loved to get under the skin of opposition players and fans and has collected more yellow cards than any other player since the inception of the Premier League.

5.) Didier Drogba

The Ivory Coast skipper has been regularly accused of falling all too easily to the ground in Premier League games. Former manager Jose Mourinho has also officially labelled him a “diver”

Drogba has never been afraid of getting into confrontations with opposition players and was sent off in the 2007-08 Champions League final for slapping Nemanja Vidic.

After witnessing Chelsea’s defeat to Barcelona in the semifinals of the 08-09 Champions League, Drogba vented out his anger by shouting “It is a f****** disgrace” on camera, criticising the decisions of match referee Tom Ovrebo.

Joey Barton4.) Joey Barton

Barton has been involved in plenty of controversial incidents off the pitch that have severely affected his career on it. Trouble always seems to follow the Huyton born midfielder, who has been convicted twice for violent conduct and has admitted to being an alcoholic. He once stuck a cigar in the eye of upcoming footballer Jamie Tandy, resulting in permanent scarring for the latter. According to reports, he once tried to seduce a former model by boasting about his “attack” on former Man City team mate Ousmane Dabo.

Bad Boy Barton has been labeled a thug, yob and also a coward by various team mates and the press.

3.) Ashley Cole

Ashley earned the moniker “Cashley” when he mentioned in his autobiography that he nearly crashed his car on hearing that Arsenal were only prepared to offer him a £55,000 a week contract.

He also cheated on his beautiful wife, Geordie singer Cheryl Tweedy with a string of women that eventually lead to the two separating a few months ago. She forgave him in the beginning, but Ashley failed to learn from his past mistakes, and paid the ultimate price.

2.) John Terry

Cole’s Chelsea team mate John Terry makes it to number 2 on this list, and only because of one name- Vanessa Perroncel.

Father of two Terry had a four month affair with French model Perroncel, the girlfriend of his Chelsea mate Wayne Bridge shortly after she split from the latter. Bridge, a natural second choice to Ashley Cole in the England set up, refused to be considered for selection for the World Cup after the news broke.

While JT kept his spot in the national squad, he did end up losing the captain’s armband to Manchester United’s Rio Ferdinand.

Cristiano Ronaldo1.) Cristiano Ronaldo

The world’s most expensive player also tops our list of most hated footballers.

He was seen winking at the Portuguese bench at the 2006 World Cup following the dismissal of England’s Wayne Rooney. His fancy step over attempts, his theatrical dives, whining to the referees and excessive focus on his looks have led to the Portuguese captain having plenty of critics in the world of soccer.

    Cristiano ronaldo is not the most hated infact there are many more ronaldo supporters than messi supporters, the most hated player is el hadji diouf, known for being top 100 players of the century but is widely known for spitting on people and getting into fights, still active.

      You certainly have a point there Jonas. However, at the time when the piece was compiled, Pepe was still better known for his defensive qualities than his shocking behaviour towards opposition players.

    Matterazzi will top my list anytime for what he displayed that day which led to the exit of zidane, ofcourse, u know his exit cost france the trophy that day.
    Robbie savage on the other hand was another trouble in the game,thou i watched him play while he was in blackburn and later i think he moved to bermingham…he indeed sent some players to injury.

    Why is christain vieri not here? That guy facially has one notable feature of serial killers(long jaw).

    Deutscher of depotivo shld be here cos he gave beckam the match of his life in a champions league game against man united prior to the 2002 world cup and that almost kept him out of the world cup…he was hated across england at that time.

    Figo…he’s here becos of how he betrayed the catalans by joining madrid. There is political rivalry between bercelona and madrid as two major city in spain. Bercelona(catalans) felt they deserve to be the capital and not madrid…this triggered the political face-off, and this was brought to the field of play and later intensified by the step taking by louis FIGO..They hate him in bercelona.

    good job on the list but i would place van Bommel a place or two above Materazzi hes not as good as a player and hes manners are by far more disgusting.
    Cristiano Ronaldo is obviously number one, add that he tries to get opposing players red carded even if they did nothing wrong and that he already has the fame of the biggest diver/faker of all times.

    Christina “Crybaby” Ronaldo, god I used to have high hopes for this player but he developed in a nasty player, too much ego, too much blabbling on the field, fake dives, always claiming for a referee to give a card to a player and most of the time cries when he lost a match sorry the only reason this boy got to be best football player in the world is cuz of friends voting for him out of pity.
    This is a terrible player.
    WC 2010 he was a joke as a striker!

    Maradona like WTF how come this junky is number 1 best player of all time?
    Like Pele once said few years back
    “Maradone should give back his prices, he is a disgrace, no respect for the game”
    Maradone has been caught using crap in matches several times and still get’s number 1 spot by Fifa how ridiculous.

    Get Pelé and Cruijff in the top 2 before Maradone tbh!!!

    besides, the “El Gol de Siglo”, is possibly the most OVERRATED goal in WC history. Sure, it aint that often we see people dribble that far, past so many fullbacks (plus the keeper), but keep in mind it was against an England team that was in a climate with temperatures of above 60 degrees F, which seems to make them melt before the opposition. Pele has always been Maradona’s superior, by MILES- no, LIGHT YEARS. His goal against Sweden took more skill to do, and it was against the HOSTS, a team most used to the local climate.

    Sergio busquets should be the most hated player by the inter fans

  • Brad

    Nah, we hate him for creating vertigo with his lineup changes during qualification (still have a minor headache just thinking about that) and he’s a cheat (you don’t need skill to punch a ball, especially when it’s blatant) and he’s a druggee. Why do you think I called him MaraDRUGGA? Also, as I’m American, I’ll hate him politically: he’s a supporter of Iran and other countries that we should blow off the map. Needless to say that he also hates the USA, so I’m glad to return the favor. . . with a .50 cal bullet to his face. He doesnt have enought skill or fame to avoid that.
    Maradona said Pele should go back to the museum. . . the museum is a MUCH BETTER place than the drug rehab center, which is pretty much where maradona LIVES.

    @Borgi….well, after Brad’s last comment there, I see where you’re coming from…but really, who cares how little white kids dress – they are kids! They have to go through life and find their way too. You can’t call everything stupid just cuz you don’t agree with it…Anyway, this is probably not the best forum to discuss the state of white kids in today’s society but maybe Brad will stop calling people stupid now…and Balotelli should be on the most hated list, but not in the top 10…Ibra is cocky and arrogant like most superstars but he backs it up with great skill in my opinion – he doesn’t have to be the best player on Barca to get my attention and I still think he contributed significantly to Barca’s campaign last season despite the critics…

He will never forgive that old enemy of pele.

    @Brad & Chelsea FC Fan:

    I’m not being a racist, just tired of people writing and acting like they are something they are not… That you lay racism in it is your problem. 😛 You can’t talk about races without being a racist these days…

    Little, white kids listening to music that often is racistic toward white people, while wearing baggy jeans and a too big sweater, a trucker-cap and walking like he’s got a limp while talking like a “gangsta” is just, in my eyes, wrong and embarrasing… 😛 It har nothing to do with racism, it’s just stupid…

    That said, to be on topic: Like some people have stated, why isn’t Ballotelli on the list..? He’s so hated by both players and fans that he should be… I think Zlatan maybe should be on this list as well… He’s so cocky and arrogant, and quite overrated in my opinion… 😛

    Borgi. . . football has a catch phrase: “Say No to Rascism”. how about you try it? also, try staying on topic.

    won’t start playin for/training with the Rhinos until February, CFC Fan, can’t wait though.

    thing is, while I’m not egocentric like some professionals (that’s what some guys describe Nico as) and like how some of the guys who are better than me here at home are already!!! however, if I were to be playing for the US in, say, 2018 or 2022 WC, and the coach is being crap, I will have my say. I’m not a guy who says much (in person anyway, unless it’s during a match) but when I feel it’s important, I’ll rant on about it. . . . that might get me to end up being one of the world’s top 10 most hated players, but that’d just give me reason to try harder.

    @Brad…nobody should blow up at the coach buddy – don’t be taking notes from Nico a.k.a. Le Sulk! He did what he did and he’s lucky he has a good thing going on at Chelsea to fall back on to. Hopefully, if you find yourself in a similar situation, do what you feel is the right/smart thing to do, but embarrassing and degrading your coach will get you nowhere…

    Materazzi also provoked little Craig Bellamy (admittedly, that’s not hard to do) by repeatedly pinching, hair pulling, stamping etc in the opening period of the Champions League game at Newcastle many moons ago. Not very bright Bellamy gave him a dig in the ribs and got sent off early in the game. Job done for Materazzi, who was subbed shortly afterwards. He’s a disgrace as a sportsman.

    Ronaldo is the best choice for #1 of the most hated. Yes he is one of the best players in the world but he cares more about how he looks, how much money he earns, and how many woman are after him. He is also VERY cocky. He thinks he is the best footballer and the best good lookin but he isn’t. Ronaldo has no love and passion for his teams. In portugal he hasn’t done shit but yet he is the captain. Messi isn’t cocky and does’t even think he is the best. He has love for his shirt and not himself.

    I can understand why people hate Henry for what he did against Ireland. The intention to cheat was there, regardless of what might or probably will happen if the losing team makes it thereafter. I don’t think the player should be blamed any less or more if he does get caught, so what does the referee being an idiot have anything to do with Henry being a cheater?
    I recognize CR9’s skills; it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a douchebag for whining all the time when being called and immediately criticizing other players for diving like he does. And oh yeah, the best of the best is Lionel Messi.
    Just my two cents.

    you guys have to be kidding me. why does everyone hate ronaldo? just for because deafenting portugal in 2006 his nation and winning england? his a great soccer player, the people who hate him are just jealouse of him, for not having such great skill. In my opinion his the best of the best.

For crying out loud, Vanessa was not married to Bridge or raped. So , why so much noise about what every boby does freely even as i send this comment.

    I can understand why people hate Henry for what he did against Ireland. The intention to cheat was there, regardless of what might or probably will happen if the losing team makes it thereafter. I don’t think the player should be blamed any less or more if he does get caught, so what does the referee being an idiot have anything to do with Henry being a cheater?
    I recognize CR9’s skills; it doesn’t change the fact that he’s a douchebag for whining all the time when being called and immediately criticizing other players for diving like he does. And oh yeah, the best of the best is Lionel Messi.
    Just my two cents.

    Ronaldo is the best choice for #1 of the most hated. Yes he is one of the best players in the world but he cares more about how he looks, how much money he earns, and how many woman are after him. He is also VERY cocky. He thinks he is the best footballer and the best good lookin but he isn’t. Ronaldo has no love and passion for his teams. In portugal he hasn’t done shit but yet he is the captain. Messi isn’t cocky and does’t even think he is the best. He has love for his shirt and not himself.

    Materazzi also provoked little Craig Bellamy (admittedly, that’s not hard to do) by repeatedly pinching, hair pulling, stamping etc in the opening period of the Champions League game at Newcastle many moons ago. Not very bright Bellamy gave him a dig in the ribs and got sent off early in the game. Job done for Materazzi, who was subbed shortly afterwards. He’s a disgrace as a sportsman.

    won’t start playin for/training with the Rhinos until February, CFC Fan, can’t wait though.

    thing is, while I’m not egocentric like some professionals (that’s what some guys describe Nico as) and like how some of the guys who are better than me here at home are already!!! however, if I were to be playing for the US in, say, 2018 or 2022 WC, and the coach is being crap, I will have my say. I’m not a guy who says much (in person anyway, unless it’s during a match) but when I feel it’s important, I’ll rant on about it. . . . that might get me to end up being one of the world’s top 10 most hated players, but that’d just give me reason to try harder.

    Little, white kids listening to music that often is racistic toward white people, while wearing baggy jeans and a too big sweater, a trucker-cap and walking like he’s got a limp while talking like a “gangsta” is just, in my eyes, wrong and embarrasing… 😛 It har nothing to do with racism, it’s just stupid…

    That said, to be on topic: Like some people have stated, why isn’t Ballotelli on the list..? He’s so hated by both players and fans that he should be… I think Zlatan maybe should be on this list as well… He’s so cocky and arrogant, and quite overrated in my opinion… 😛

    Nah, we hate him for creating vertigo with his lineup changes during qualification (still have a minor headache just thinking about that) and he’s a cheat (you don’t need skill to punch a ball, especially when it’s blatant) and he’s a druggee. Why do you think I called him MaraDRUGGA? Also, as I’m American, I’ll hate him politically: he’s a supporter of Iran and other countries that we should blow off the map. Needless to say that he also hates the USA, so I’m glad to return the favor. . . with a .50 cal bullet to his face. He doesnt have enought skill or fame to avoid that.
    Maradona said Pele should go back to the museum. . . the museum is a MUCH BETTER place than the drug rehab center, which is pretty much where maradona LIVES.

    besides, the “El Gol de Siglo”, is possibly the most OVERRATED goal in WC history. Sure, it aint that often we see people dribble that far, past so many fullbacks (plus the keeper), but keep in mind it was against an England team that was in a climate with temperatures of above 60 degrees F, which seems to make them melt before the opposition. Pele has always been Maradona’s superior, by MILES- no, LIGHT YEARS. His goal against Sweden took more skill to do, and it was against the HOSTS, a team most used to the local climate.

    Christina “Crybaby” Ronaldo, god I used to have high hopes for this player but he developed in a nasty player, too much ego, too much blabbling on the field, fake dives, always claiming for a referee to give a card to a player and most of the time cries when he lost a match sorry the only reason this boy got to be best football player in the world is cuz of friends voting for him out of pity.
    This is a terrible player.
    WC 2010 he was a joke as a striker!

    Maradona like WTF how come this junky is number 1 best player of all time?
    Like Pele once said few years back
    “Maradone should give back his prices, he is a disgrace, no respect for the game”
    Maradone has been caught using crap in matches several times and still get’s number 1 spot by Fifa how ridiculous.

    Get Pelé and Cruijff in the top 2 before Maradone tbh!!!

    Why is christain vieri not here? That guy facially has one notable feature of serial killers(long jaw).

    Deutscher of depotivo shld be here cos he gave beckam the match of his life in a champions league game against man united prior to the 2002 world cup and that almost kept him out of the world cup…he was hated across england at that time.

    Figo…he’s here becos of how he betrayed the catalans by joining madrid. There is political rivalry between bercelona and madrid as two major city in spain. Bercelona(catalans) felt they deserve to be the capital and not madrid…this triggered the political face-off, and this was brought to the field of play and later intensified by the step taking by louis FIGO..They hate him in bercelona.
