3. Zlatko Zahovic (Slovenia)
Roy Keane was not the only player to leave the 2002 World Cup early with Slovenia playmaker Zahovic following him.
The Benfica midfielder clashed with coach Srecko Katanec in their 3-1 defeat by Spain.
The Slovenia Football Federation decided to send Zahovic home early after that scene. Rudi Zavrl, the president of the federation at the time, said:
“Zahovic has continued with his attitude which was damaging for the atmosphere surrounding the team.”
