The incredible video of Torino coach Ivan Juric and director Davide Vagnati coming to blows raises even more questions, including insults at President Urbano Cairo and the likelihood a player filmed and leaked it.
Sportitalia reported this afternoon that there was a furious row between Juric and Vagnati at the pre-season training retreat in Austria.
Video later emerged showing the absolutely furious argument, which only the presence of another member of staff – probably Team Manager Marco Pellegri – prevented from turning into an all-out brawl.
After the initial shock of seeing the video, more questions emerge that show the extent of the problems at Torino.
Director Vagnati is heard shouting “I am the only one who defends you from that ****-head!” and it seems as if he might’ve been referring to President Cairo.
If both the coach and director of sport are referring to the President in those terms, it’s a worrying situation.
The angle of the video suggests it was filmed by someone in the team hotel, so considering this is a pre-season retreat, that would suggest a player both filmed and then leaked the video online.
It’s no secret that Juric is unhappy with the lack of reinforcements and Vagnati can be heard saying “you just coach the team that I give you, understand? I’ve had enough of you, you need to show respect!”
CuoreToro meanwhile claim the start of the argument was Vagnati accusing Juric of going to see President Cairo behind his back, to which the coach shouted in reply: “That’s because he wants you to disappear! And yet here you are, breaking my balls!”
This is the slightly longer version that appeared on social media.
