1. First time I’ve ever seen something like this, incredible

2. As a coach you’re supposed to set an example of professionalism for your players.

   Acting like this, especially in a top league, is straight up barbaric.

   Lecce did the right thing

3. I’m glad we did, what a muppet thing to do.

4. It was a foregone conclusion, also because the team’s form had taken quite a dip and Lecce have ended up embroiled in the relegation fight despite having looked relatively safe earlier in the season.

   The headbutt was almost a blessing, as it has given the board a valid reason to fire D’Aversa and look fully justified to do so.

   P.S. Delio Rossi slapping Ljajic is still my all-time favourite managerial meltdown.

5. Magari l’avesse fatto pure di Francesco

6. Shameful
