The New York coaches have butted heads repeatedly over the past three years, and will renew their rivalry on Saturday
Patrick Vieira and Jesse Marsch are very different, both as people and as coaches, but some of the characteristics they share may be what have led them to develop what is as close as there is to a coaching rivalry in Major League Soccer.
With a foundation laid in Vieira's first season in MLS with New York City FC, in 2016, a year that saw the two young coaches involved in heated exchanges as well as the occasional war of words in the media, the Vieira-Marsch 'feud' has grown tame in recent years, but there is no denying the two men aren't afraid to disagree with each other.
