Italian Youth Side Sack Manager For Merciless 27-0 Win

An Italian youth club, Invictasauro, have sacked head coach Massimiliano Riccini for disrespecting the opposition after his team thumped their rivals Marina Calcio 27-0 on Saturday.

Normally, a coach is fired when he is unable to get the needed result for his team, but this is not the case for Riccini, he was fired for over achievement.

According to ESPN, the losing side were suffering from a host of injury problems and had an outfield player in goal; they were also bottom of the table, while Invictasauro led the standings.

After the game, Marina Calcio received a phone call from Invictasauro’s club president Paolo Brogelli, who issued an apology.

Brogelli publicly criticized his team’s win over their rivals as "disrespecting the adversary” and later announced the sacking of their team’s head coach via the club’s official site.

“We were stunned and deeply regretful when hearing that our Juniores team had beaten Marina Calcio 27-0,” said President Paolo Brogelli in a statement.

“The values of youth team football are antithetical to such a thing. The opponent must always be respected and that did not happen today.

“As President, I sincerely apologize to the Marina club. I announce that our directors decided, unanimously, to sack coach Riccini.

“Our coaches have the duty to train young players, but above all to educate them. That did not happen today.”
