Ivan Juric's nerves gave out. Belotti and Bremer left in the summer. The club promised to find replacements, and now there are two weeks before the start of the season, and no newcomers. The coach decided to beat them out of the management.

Literally - he beat up the athletic director Davide Vagnati right in the parking lot. While they were fighting, the men exchanged a couple of caustic phrases

Vagnati: "I'm putting a team together."

Jurich: "You're not doing a damn thing."

Vagnati: "I'm actually the only one defending you in front of this ******** (club president)"

The fighters were broken up by club personnel, but the story didn't get hushed up. One of the players videotaped the whole thing and leaked it to the media.

The sportscaster had to explain himself publicly, "When two people really care about doing things right, these things happen." Also to finally get busy with transfers.

A club that is willing to fight for results
