Top 5 hot-headed players football has ever seen

#4: Gennaro Gattuso

Gennaro Gattuso was a tough player to handle when he was angry

No one had the guts to question Gennaro Gattuso's authority at the San Siro. Knowing the type of hot-headed man he was, Gattuso enjoyed the status of being a fantastic leader both on and off the pitch.

He had a short stature, but that never stopped him from being intimidating both as a player and a person. The Italian was famous for losing his rage in the fraction of a second and being the centre of attraction in many spats and duels during a game.

In one instance, Rino Gattuso even dared to hold ex-Milan player Jordan by the scruff of the neck in an ugly spat of rage. A big applause to Carlo Ancelotti who managed the hot-headed Italian as aptly as one could imagine.
