MONTERREY coach Antonio Mohamed has admitted he directed an expletive-ridden and homophobic rant at Jurgen Klopp.
The pair clashed during a heated Club World Cup semi-final in Doha last month.

And Mohamed, 49, has admitted he blew his top in the Qatari capital as Roberto Firmino’s injury-time winner gave the Reds a 2-1 victory to send them through to the final.
But after an argument over players being booked, Klopp stuck his tongue out at Mohamed, sending him into a rage, but the former Argentina international was the one who claimed he was disrespected.
The Mexican club’s manager also thought Joe Gomez should have been given a second yellow card.
Mohamed told Enganche: “What happened is that I was disrespected.
“[Klopp] kept asking for yellow cards because he said we were hitting [Mohamed] Salah all the time.
“Then when I asked for a card to expel one of their players, he stuck his tongue out at me like a p***y.
“When I saw him, I laughed at first and then I got a little angry and rose to his bait – then my neighbourhood came out and I lost all elegance and composure.
“If I have to tell you what I said to him… I can’t even remember, because I thought if I swear at him in English I won’t be myself.
“So I think I said to him ‘Your f***ing mother’s c**t, who have you been f***ing? Q****’.”
Liverpool went on to win the final over Flamengo 1-0 after extra time, thanks to Firmino’s 99th-minute goal.
