From belly slides to touchline jigs and bicep flexing, the most hilarious manager celebrations after Simeone’s ball-grabbing reaction

IT was not the first time and it won't be the last.

Diego Simeone, overjoyed at seeing Atletico Madrid take the lead against Juventus in their Champions League knockout clash, turned to the crowd and grabbed his crotch.

Of the ball-cupping celebration, Simeone said: "I did it as a player at Lazio and I did it again to show our fans that we have cojones."

The hilarious reaction saw SunSport take a trip down memory lane with some of the funniest celebrations managers have performed, from the touchline jigs to belly-flops.

And where better to start than the man who pines for the spotlight more than a TOWIE star chewing on a kangaroo's anus in the Australian outback?

Jose Mourinho

But which to choose...

Perhaps the launching of a crate of water bottles after Marouane Fellaini's late winner against Young Boys in the Champions League?

Or, the dramatic knee slide on the Bernabeu pitch in 2012 after Cristiano Ronaldo's last-gasp goal against Man City?

Or, maybe the Charlie Chaplin-style sprint on the Camp Nou field back in 2010 when his Inter Milan side held on to reach the Champions League final?

We'll let you decide.

Diego Maradona

It was the second minute of stoppage time in Argentina's must-win clash with Peru in the qualifiers for the 2010 World Cup.

Maradona, the nation's icon, had been under pressure to reach the greatest show on the planet.

So when substitute Martin Palermo struck an injury time winner, Maradona was so thrilled he threw himself on to the soaked touchline to perform a belly-slide.

Alan Pardew

From dancing to defeat.

When Jason Puncheon gave Crystal Palace the lead against Man United in the FA Cup final, a suited and booted Pardew transformed from football coach to tanked-up dad on the dancefloor.

Among the many things Pardew will be remembered for, this infamous jig will be high among them.

Antonio Conte

Chelsea's former boss has never been afraid of showing his emotions.

And when Graziano Pelle scored the goal to put holders Spain out of Euro 2016, Conte couldn't control himself as he climbed on top of his dugout and swung from the roof.

It was a sign of things to come at Stamford Bridge.

Graeme Souness

Liverpool's legend will never be forgotten at Galatasaray... or Fenerbahce.

In 1996, the Scot spent just a season coaching in the Turkish league but in one of the most tense rivalries in football, the Scot added fuel to the fire.

Souness ran on to the Fenerbahce pitch and planted a Galatasaray flag into the centre circle after his team had won a cup tie in one of the boldest moves in football.

Sam Allardyce

Another known for his dad dancing ability, Allardyce's standout moment comes at the Stadium of Light.

After doing what Big Sam does best, leading Sunderland from despair to safety, he pulled off his suit jacket and flexed his biceps to the crowd.

Men's Health are yet to call for a photoshoot.

Zinedine Zidane

Not known for his emotion, Zidane was blown away by Gareth Bale's Champions League winner last year.

The two Real Madrid men didn't see eye-to-eye, but when Bale leaped in the air and sent an overhead kick arrowing into the goal, Zidane couldn't help but show his pleasure.

The Frenchman gave a shake of the hand before creating a windmill with his arm.

Jurgen Klopp

And, then, one man well-known for his emotions.

Klopp's passion on the sidelines is seen in every game but a must-win Merseyside derby clash earlier this season saw the German break from the confines of his technical area.

Klopp raced on to the field, all the way to the centre circle, and launched himself at goalkeeper Alisson after Divock Origi's late winner.

Louis van Gaal

Yes, alright, it wasn't a celebration but we still want to celebrate this memorable moment.

With Man United leading Arsenal 3-2 late on at Old Trafford, Van Gaal felt too many decisions were going against his team.

The Dutchman remonstrated with fourth official Mike Dean and decided it was the perfect opportunity for a bit of amateur dramatics as he launched himself to the floor.

Never change, Louis.
