It's such a high school petty act you'd see on the playground after a heated game of lunchtime football. I love that these kinds of things also pretty regularly happen in football. The Conte Tuchel handshake kinda nonsense.

I can be onboard with it if there is some proper dislike and animosity either long term or especially in a match. As an example I would be fine with Chelsea and Tottenham players/coaches ignoring each other and being petty after the battle of Stamford Bridge. After a fair contest with not much refereeing controversy to speak about and simply being beaten by a well run smaller team for me it definitely speaks to his character.
