Coach in Italy sacked after 27-0 WIN | OneFootball

Winning isn’t everything. A coach in Italy has been sacked after leading his side to a 27-0 win.

A certain Mr. Riccini, coach of the Invictasauro youth side, upset the club’s president by winning by such a huge margin.

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

“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.”

If winning big gets you sacked, the current form at clubs like Arsenal, Tottenham and Milan starts to make a lot more sense.
