Mihajlovic rant goes viral

By Football Italia staff

A Press conference rant from Torino Coach Sinisa Mihajlovic has gone viral with over 1.2m Facebook views.

The outspoken tactician was asked after a 2-1 win over Fiorentina on Sunday evening whether it was “difficult” for 22-year-old Marco Benassi to handle wearing the captain’s armband.

“It is difficult to get up every morning at 4am, work from 6am for the rest of the day and still not be able to pay the bills at the end of the month,” replied Mihajlovic.

“That is difficult. Wearing the armband should be a pleasure and a source of pride. Benassi is a fortunate man, as we all are in this line of work.”

La Gazzetta dello Sport put the video on their Facebook page and got over 1.2m views, the vast majority of the reaction agreeing with the Serb’s comments.
