“I went on the pitch to prevent my players from being sent off, because there was a lot of provocation from the Verona players in the last minutes of the match and after the final whistle. It’s not a nice gesture, I recognize it, it’s inexcusable and I explained it to the people of Verona “, explained Roberto d’Aversa at the microphone of Sky Italia last night, to try to justify his incomprehensible headbutt addressed to French striker Thomas Henry after the Lecce-Hellas Verona match.
And inevitably, this bloodshed has serious consequences for the 48-year-old Italian coach. Lecce formalized the departure of D’Aversa. “After the events that occurred at the end of the Lecce – Verona match, US Lecce announces that it has relieved coach Roberto D’Aversa of his duties. Thanks to the coach and his staff for the work accomplished”communicated the club, 15th in Serie A.
