Fiorentina coach's attack of player sparks outrage

ROME (AP) ? Fiorentina coach Delio Rossi's physical assault of one of his own players sparked outrage Thursday, and the club announced that club manager Vincenzo Guerini will take over the team for the final two matches of the season. The football system lives on excess and when everything is excessive reactions become that way, too. "There are no excuses for Rossi's reaction, which is a complete disgrace to everyone in football," the Serbian football federation said in a statement. The federation added that it did not approve of Ljajic's gesture, "because players always have to accept coach's decisions, and he should have done so in a more professional manner." Fiorentina's hard-core "ultra" fans applauded Rossi after the incident and insulted Ljajic with racist chants, resulting in Fiorentina being fined ?15,000 ($20,000) by the league. "Fiorentina is struggling, they were losing, the tension was really high, but what happened is unacceptable," said veteran coach Carlo Mazzone. Cozzella told the ANSA news agency that the decision to fire Rossi was excessive.
