Brighton manager Roberto De Zerbi and Marseille coach Gennaro Gattuso will reunite this week.
The two Italians had a fiery confrontation on the touchline seven years ago, during a Serie C play-off final.
Both men were sent off on that occasion, while Gattuso even had a coin thrown at him by the crowd.
There was nothing, we have a passion and we live this work," De Zerbi stated about that incident and his respect for Gattuso to reporters.
I have big respect for him, he worked very well in Pisa, Milan and Naples.
We are very close in terms of character, passion, I think tomorrow will be better than in 2016!"
