Coach’s Bonkers Red Card Sends Italian Football into a Frenzy
In a jaw-dropping moment that has left fans and pundits alike scratching their heads, an Italian football coach has become the talk of the town after receiving a red card for one of the craziest reasons you’ll ever see.
The bizarre incident occurred during a sixth-tier match between Pontassieve and Subbiano in Italy, with the coach in question, Alessio Guidotti, of Subbiano, losing his cool and charging onto the pitch to hack down a Pontassieve player who was through on goal.
The coach, clad in an orange bib, was instantly dismissed by the referee, and his protestations of innocence were in vain. The game, which ended 0-0, was effectively blown wide open by Guidotti’s antics, and Pontassieve coach Marco Guidi was left fuming.
"I’m mostly sorry for Subbiano because they’re a famous and respected club," Guidi lamented. "Their coach’s attitude sullied them and affected the game’s outcome because we were attacking two against one."
Subbiano have since released a statement hinting that Guidotti could soon be relieved of his duties as manager, and condemning his actions as "unfair" and "partially punished already".
"Certain incidents should never happen, and we’re surely the first ones to be upset," the statement read. "We hope tones will be kept down as they have been as unpleasant as the incident itself."
The clip has already gone viral, racking up over 1.5 million views on X and sparking a lively debate among fans and pundits alike. So, what do you think? Should Guidotti be given the boot for his actions, or is it just a case of a coach losing his temper in the heat of the moment?
