Manager fires incredible blast at Serie A star after hauling him off just 15 MINUTES after bringing him on as a sub
TORINO manager Ivan Juric has blasted his own player, Nemanja Radonjic, after hauling him off just 15 MINUTES into his substitute appearance against Juventus.
Radonjic, 27, was brought on in the 60th minute with the Turin derby tied up at 2-2.
However, after Juve captured the lead for the first time through ex-Torino defender Gleison Bremer, Serbian winger Radonjic was pulled off.
Radonjic lasted on the pitch just 15 MINUTES and exchanged words with manager Juric as he went off.
Juve went on to score a fourth shortly after Radonjic's departure with Adrien Rabiot getting the goal.
After the game, Juric blasted Radonjic, saying: "There are things I find it hard to understand.
