The working relationship between Pietersen and Moores broke down after the coach, as part of the selection panel, ignored former captain Michael Vaughan for the West Indies tour against Pietersen's wish.
Their equation, however, had soured much earlier as Pietersen reportedly had no professional respect for Moores, whom he considered pretty mediocre as a coach.
England and Wales Cricket Board had entrusted Managing Director Huge Morris to broker peace between the feuding duo and Pietersen himself was keen to solve the issue before leaving for the west Indies.
"This situation is not healthy, we have to make sure it is settled as soon as possible and certainly before wee fly off to the West Indies," Pietersen had told from South Africa where he was holidaying.
