Leeds United fans shared their warm reactions after a video showing off managers Marcelo Bielsa and Slaven Bilic emerged.
The two managers were seen embracing each other following the full-time whistle in the game between the sides on Wednesday.
After the game the Croatian spoke of his respect for the Argentine manager, claiming it was a privilege to compete against the 64-year-old (via Leeds Utd).
The two men seem to be doing a fairly decent job in the Championship this season as they sit joint-level on points, nine points clear of third-placed Brentford.
Both sides sharing differing statistics in defence and attack with the Midlands side having scored more goals, while Leeds have conceded fewer.
Fans were in a warm mood after the two were spotted embracing and sharing words with each other after their top of the table clash.
