Rafa Benitez's 'facts' rant, Jose Mourinho calling for 'respect' and Nigel Pearson labelling a reporter an 'ostrich'... Ronald Koeman's three-minute statement is just the latest in a series of bizarre press conferences

Ronald Koeman became the latest manager to deliver a bizarre press conference following his three-minute statement earlier this week.

The under-fire Barcelona boss did not take any questions from the media and instead read out a sombre statement asking for patience from fans and 'support in these difficult times'.

When the three-minute discourse - a couple of days before the Catalan giants' goalless stalemate at Cadiz on Thursday - was over, the former Holland boss got up from his seat and left.

While it was a press conference more on the serene side than a full-blooded rant in front of reporters, it was no less compelling viewing.
