​A player from the lower leagues of Argentine football has reportedly threatened to shoot his own manager after being benched constantly by the coach.





Cesar Pagani, a player of Escuela Presidente Roca , has not been given enough playing time by manager Cristian Neira and thus, pointed a gun at him and threatened to kill him if he does not play more often!



​ Police were called to the training ground following the incident and they have decided to keep some officers in the place to avoid a repeat of the ugly scenes.







The manager, who has been with Escuela for a long time, has vacated his job following this incident and wants the player to face criminal charges for his actions.

According to ​AS, Neira said, “I’ve been involved with the club for more than 45 years and nothing like this has ever happened. It’s not possible to just let this pass. He will have to be held accountable by the justice system.”





After the incident which saw Pagani pull out a gun in the training ground, Neira left his post and that has been confirmed by the Emetereo Farias, the president of the Cordoba Football Association.





According to the report, Farias also added that Pagani had previously bought in an acquaintance to threaten another member of the team though it is unknown is he has any prior convictions. It remains to be seen whether the perpetrator faces any criminal action.
