Italian soccer coach canned after attacking own player

5/3/2012


Nobody likes to lose, but one Italian soccer coach's passion has gone way too far. Fiorentina has had a horrific season and was down two goals early in yesterday's match when coach Delio Rossi decided to make a lineup change. As Adem Ljajic made his way to the bench, he gave Rossi a sarcastic thumbs-up. Rossi went absolutely berserk, grabbing his player by the neck and getting a few wallops in before others separated the pair. Too many double espressos, coach? Fiorentina ended up with a tie, but Rossi got canned after the game.
