Shocking moment Italian coach is shown red card for running on to the pitch to stop attack with tackle

The footage has quickly gone viral online.

An Italian football coach has gone viral for receiving one of the craziest red cards you will ever see.

The bizarre moment happened as Pontassieve took on Subbiano in Italy's sixth tier this weekend.

A Pontassieve player was seemingly through on goal when one coach from the opposition decided to charge onto the pitch and hack him down.

It has already been dubbed one of football's maddest moments and is one you really cannot miss.

Already viewed over 1.5m times on X, formerly known as Twitter, fans have reacted wildly to the bonkers clip.

Seen wearing an orange bib, the coach could not hold in his intrusive thoughts and was instantly dismissed.

The coach in question also hilariously held his hands into the air protesting the decision that was about to come his way despite having no defence for his actions.

The game itself ended 0-0, which just serves to underline how much of an impact the intervention from the Subbiano coach had on the match.

The coach has been identified as Alessio Guidotti, who manages the sixth-tier Italian outfit.

His counterpart, Pontassieve coach Marco Guidi, later condemned the actions of his opposite number.

“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 have since released their own response to the saga, hinting that Guidotti could soon be relieved from his duties as manager.

“The club is deeply sorry for what happened during Pontassieve-Subbiano,” they said in a statement.

“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.”
