Incredible footage has emerged of Torino manager Ivan Juric and director of sport Davide Vagnati almost coming to blows in a heated row in pre-season. Watch the video below:
Earlier this week, Italian outlet SportItalia claimed there had been a row between the two men at Torino's pre-season training camp in Austria.
Juric was said to be furious at a perceived lack of investment in the squad this summer, according to Football Italia.

Footage of the incident has now emerged and is circulating on social media.
In the clip, Vagnati can be heard screaming at Juric, who then appears to push the sporting director.
Vagnati reacts angrily and has be held back by another member of staff, who desperately attempts to keep the two men apart.
Football Italia have reported that Vagnati repeatedly shouted "don't raise your voice to me, you have no respect! I defend you from everyone!"
Juric can be heard replying "go f*** yourself" during the altercation.
The report claims Vagnati could also be heard shouting: "I always defend you from that d***head," leading to speculation he was referring to club president Urbano Cairo.
Juric was appointed as Torino manager in July of last year and guided the club to a 10th-place finish in Serie A last season.
Torino face French club Nice in their final pre-season friendly on Saturday.
They will then take on either Palermo or Reggiana in the first round of the Coppa Italia on August 6.
Juric's side then face Monza in their opening match of the Serie A season on August 13.
Whether he will still be in charge of Torino by that point remains to be seen.
