An Italian youth club fired
manager Massimiliano Riccini for
disrespecting the opposition
after his team bagged a 27-0 win
on Saturday.
Massimiliano Riccini fired
Invictasauro, an under-18 side
from Tuscany, demolished Marina
Calcio and scored an incredible
27 goals. According to ESPN, the
losing side were dealing with a
host of injury problems and had
an outfield player in goal as a
result.
They were also bottom of the
table, while Invictasauro led the
standings.
Marina sporting director Tiberio
Pratesi lodged a complaint and
later received a phone call from
Invictasauro with an apology.
Their president, Paolo Brogelli,
released a public statement to
announce Riccini’s sacking:
“We were stunned and deeply
regretful when hearing that our
Juniores team had beaten Marina
Calcio 27-0. 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
apologise 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.”

Was the coach the players who scored the goals

He should be sanctioned heavily, how can you let your kids put 27 goals past another team.

There should be new laws...teams should write to authorities when faced with serious injuries to a point of using an outfield player in goal. The game should have been shifted if these laws were there. BTW how do struggling relegation bound team put a defender in goal for 90 min and expect not to concede at least 10 goals with table toppers?

The coach will still get hired by another club

I don't understand again o
