VIDEO: Nigel Pearson ain’t got nothing on this Argentine manager who kicked opposition player

Brings new meaning to Argy Bargy

Darragh Murphy

It may be abhorrent, immoral, unsportsmanlike and wrong but kicking down an opposition player is bloody effective.

Club Atletico Union Santiago manager Pablo Martel showed all the subtlety of Gary Lineker having a mid-match poo when he lashed out at a player who had an extra few yards on his marker.

The game took place in the lower tiers of Argentine football so we’re not too sure of the punishment that followed for ol’ hothead Pablo but we presume that he won’t be allowed anywhere near the touchline for some time to come.

Expect an ostrich rant in Spanish any day now.
