It is rare that one hears about a trainer who has been fired for winning a match.
But it is nevertheless the case for the coach of the juniorfodboldholdet Invictasauro in the Italian city of Grossetto.
Usually firing fodboldtrænere after a streak of bad results, but in Italian football going on, things are not always as in other places.
It must Massimiliano Riccini true. He was in for the weekend trainer for Invicta Sauros junior team, but after the Tuscany team kæmpesejr of 27-0 over the weekend, he fired.
We were astonished and very sorry to hear that our junior team had beaten Marina Calcio 27-0.
– such things are in complete contradiction with our ungdomsholds values, says club president Paolo Brogelli, according to ESPN, which reproduces quotes from the local newspaper Grosseto Sport.
– the Opponent should always be respected, and it did not happen today.
– Our trainers have a duty to train young players, but most of all to educate them. It did not happen today.
As president, with all my heart I like to give an apology to the Marina team. Our board of directors has decided to fire coach Mr Riccini, says the president.

the Reason for the Marina Calcios big defeat is, among other things, that the club was hit by a series of damages up to the fight. Therefore may, among other things, play with a fielder on goal.
After the 0-27-the defeat called for the opposing team and complaining about a lack of respect. This led to an apologetic call the other way, and therefore also the firing of the winning coach.
