Fiorentina coach attacks own player

Fiorentina manager Delio Rossi attacked one of his own players in the middle of a Serie A game this evening.

The confrontation took place after Rossi substituted midfielder Adem Ljajic after just 32 minutes with Fiorentina two down against their relegation rivals Novara.

Ljajic was clearly annoyed with the decision and said something to his coach as he walked towards the dugout.

Rossi was outraged and flew at Ljajic, clearly landing two blows on the player as others tried to keep them apart.

Watch the incident below.
