Lazio Manager Maurizio Sarri Wiped Out By Udinese Player After Brutal Collision On Touchline

Sarri's glasses flew off his head and he crashed to the ground with an almighty thud. You can see the painful footage below.

Sarri then proceeded to hold up his glasses to those watching inside the Stadio Olimpico - a gesture that seemed to suggest he was fine.

And after the full-time whistle, the Italian confirmed he was okay after the nasty collision.

“It was a good test of my current condition," he laughed. "I'd like to point out that I was the one who got back up first!"

Sarri continued: “The team is improving, both in terms of spirit and quality, as tonight everyone got involved with the spirit of sacrifice, including the youth team players on the bench.

“The club is very careful and will never transform the squad in one transfer session. I knew that before I arrived. The important thing is that a club is ready mentally to accompany us in our gradual growth."
