Materazzi is in charge of Chennaiyin, who are considered Blasters' south Indian rivals despite the 700 kilometres that separate the two clubs geographically.

Blasters fans are unhappy with the former Italy defender's conduct in a draw between the two sides last month, when he became involved in a scuffle between one of their players, Kervens Belfort, and Chennaiyin's Manuele Blasi.
