:eek:


Say a few managers have wanted to do that.

Vurnon San Benito

Fair play to the manager imo, I'd back him in that situation every day of the week.

S28382

Mancini should of done that to tevez

Aftermath

It is the 19th coaching change in the 20-team Italian league this season. The previous Serie A record for changes was 15 in 1951-52. Ten clubs have changed managers at least once, with Cagliari leading the way with three firings.

The link just shows the incident with Llajic and the manager, I don't understand the thread title, but thats all the video is, unless I'm missing something too.

This is what Trapattoni will be doing to Paul Green at Euro 2012 when it dawns on him how sh!t he is.

apparently the player said the manager was "more retarded than his son"

apparently the manager has a handicapped son, so didnt take too kindly

of course that's just the speculation doing the rounds

batistuta9

It doesn't look the guy had time to say what has been suggested.
Bit unprofessional from the manager to say the least.

That's been disproven, he doesn't have a son. That's an awful rumour if you are Ljajic, especially if it becomes widely believed.

Even if it was the truth, put it into the familiar English League family scenario! Wenger flies into the dugout at Walcott for sarcastically applauding him and smacks him! Go on Wenger!!!

I just wish Kenny would do that to Stewart Downing!!!

MickySticks

The manager should have more cop on than that.

I don't condone violence, but if you're going to do it - at least do it in the dressing rooms!

Cagliari sacked the same coach twice too - out of those three times. And moved their home games or threatened to move them to Trieste in the North East corner of the country over a dispute with the local council...

According to Paolo Bandini in his Guardian column, the Viola fans were cheering support to the manager chanting "Delio, give them a kicking"

Sir Gallagher

It's completely unproffesional but it's great seeing a little upstart gettin a clout off an aul lad.

Well done to Rossi i say. Fiorentina have been a disgrace all season and seeing that little $hit "applaud" him like that actually made me mad. All professional footballers need this sort of kicking at least once a month. Whether it was unprofessional or not i dont really care, they don't live in the real world, and need somebody to bring them back down to earth.

What you say is true, at least about some of them. And no doubt the player in question possibly fits the stereotype of the pampered, overpaid and underworked footballer. But a manager can't carry on like that either. Man-management is a key part of the job and physically attacking one of your own players, how ever much of a tosser he is, is unacceptable. It would be classed as gross misconduct and a sackable offence in almost any place of work.

Normally i would agree with you, but these are not normal circumstances. Do you know what Ljajic actually said to Rossi? - "You are more disabled than your son" was his comment, in reference to Rossi's disabled child. That's pretty disgusting, and i do not blame anyone who would lash out having that said to them. I know i would have done the same. Ljajic deserves much more than a punch for an intentionally hurtful comment like that.

If you bothered reading the thread, you'd discover Rossi doesnt have a son. Its a horrible rumour.

Regardless, that's no way to behave towards a manager. It shows disrespect towards both him and the fans.

flyswatter

Totally agree with the managers actions. The player should be dumped in the reserves, fucking twerp.

About time a top-level player got a box.

Sorry, you're correct, although Dario Rossi isn't disabled so I've no idea where that rumour came from.

What a ridiculous situation
