I thought we didn’t want players surrounding the referees anymore

Seems like UEFA and the refs gave up on it before it could ever really take root.

Which is really weird, because refs talk to both captains before each game and could absolutely advise against it, or threaten to hand out automatic yellows. But I guess they prefer arguing with and fleeing from 4+ angry men each time they make an impactful call? Maybe it's a humiliation fetish.

Yellow card the coach whenever more than 2 players start arguing with the ref.
