Shocking reports from Livorno, where a fan punched goalkeeper Carlo Pinsoglio in the face after the team’s relegation.
Livorno were relegated from Serie B with last night’s 2-2 home draw against Virtus Lanciano.
The Amaranto had been 2-0 up, but a debatable penalty – and red card – got Lanciano back into it before a late Pinsoglio howler.
La Gazzetta dello Sport reports that the team stayed in the locker room until 1.30am to avoid the crowds of angry ultras outside.
When the squad did get back to the Tirrenia training ground, Pinsoglio was walking to his car with his parents when accosted by a hooligan.
The supporter punched him in the eye and ran off.
Livorno go down into Lega Pro for the first time in 14 years.
