AN ITALIAN youth football coach has been sacked – for leading his team to a 27-0 win against their rivals.
Tuscany-based Invictasauro were far too good for Marina Calcio as they romped to victory.

But the president of the victors was far from happy and swung the axe as the “opponent was not respected”.
He went on to apologise to the losing team.
In a statement, as reported by Football Italia, Paulo Brogelli said: “We were stunned and deeply regretful when hearing that our Juniores team had beaten Marina Calcio 27-0.
“The values of youth team football are antithetical to such a thing. The opponent must always be respected and that did not happen today.
“As president, I sincerely apologise to the Marina club.
“I announce that our directors decided, unanimously, to sack coach Riccini.
“Our coaches have the duty to train young players, but above all to educate them.
“That did not happen today.”
