Watch the Bizarre and Attacking Moment Italian Coach is Given One of Football's CRAZIEST Red Cards

This is the wild moment an Italian coach was given one of football's most bizarre red cards after rushing onto the pitch and tackling a player to stop an attack.

Subbiano manager Alessio Guidotti landed himself in hot water after a moment of madness during his side's sixth-tier game against Pontassieve this weekend.

After a Pontassieve forward looked to charge through on goal, the coach emerged from his dugout and hacked him down before looking to apologize.


The barely believable footage has gone viral on social media and is made even more mind-boggling by Guidotti's attempt to excuse his actions before being sent off.

Clad in a bright orange bib, the tactician held up his arms in the air, seemingly in a desperate bid to protest against the dismissal that was about to come his way.

Unsurprisingly, several Pontassieve players furiously surrounded him, forcing the linesman to step across and break up the group before tensions boiled over.

After the match, Pontassieve coach Marco Guidi condemned Guidotti's decision.

'I am mostly sorry for Subbiano because they are a famous and respectful club,' he told local media.

'Their coach's attitude sullied them and affected the game's outcome because we were attacking two against one.'

Subbiano also released their statement on the incident and did not hold back in delivering a withering putdown of Guidotti's loss of control.

'The club is deeply sorry for what happened during Pontassieve-Subbiano,' they said.

'Certain incidents should never happen, and we surely are the first ones to be upset.

'On Sundays, we are all football fans who come to watch games driven by passion.

'To get an advantage this way is unfair and deserves punishment, as it has partially happened already.

'At the same time, however, we are convinced that it was not a violent incident, and we are even more convinced that our coach, Guidotti, is the first one to be sorry.

'There's not much to add. We hope tones will be kept down as they have been as unpleasant as the incident itself.'
