Turin-Fiorentina Ends with a Clash, Not Among Players but Between Coaches

Turin-Fiorentina ends with sparks flying, but not on the field among players as happened in Lazio-Milan, but between the benches. The protagonists were Vincenzo Italiano and Ivan Juric, with the latter getting the worse of it and being sent off. The dismissal from the field came after referee Marchetti had cautioned both coaches who were arguing, but the Turin coach had already received a yellow card. The controversies continued even after the final whistle, with the Turin directors meeting the Fiorentina bench to clarify matters. The initial controversies had started at the end of the first half, but then at the 90th minute, the clash that led to Juric's expulsion occurred. As reported by Dazn, Italiano complained about a free kick from the three-quarter field, and the Turin coach 'responded in kind' with temperatures rising. Marchetti thus decided to calm things down by cautioning both coaches, the second for the Croatian who also approached the Fiorentina bench while going to the stands to reiterate his thoughts.
