We've all heard about Sir Alex Ferguson's infamous hair-dryer treatment of his players when they don't perform up to expectations. Well, Fiorentina's Delio Rossi took it up a notch when he punched midfielder Adam Ljajic during his side's 2-2 draw with Novara.
According to various reports, Delio Rossi 'lost his cool' and began thumping Ljajic after the latter sarcastically gave his manager the thumbs up for substituting him. You can check out the video below.
Following the incident, Fiorentina sacked Rossi.
I haven't seen any report which details how Ljajic had been performing on the pitch prior to his substitution but my guess, based on Rossi's reaction, was that he wasn't very impressive, to say the least. Perhaps this could serve as a warning to other players who frequently under-perform on the pitch. You never know when your manager is going to lose it (yes, Mr Jordan Henderson. I'm talking about you).
