In his own mind he was set for serious fisticuffs, but that’s not exactly what materialised for this furious Iranian manager.
By Declan Whooley
What we know about this video is that it happened in a Third Division game in the Iranian League and the elderly manager is just a tad pi**ed off with an incident that has occurred.
We see him take off his suit jacket so he was bracing himself for some physical action, but the referee escapes his clutches as the irate manager perfects the art of flailing punches, not making any actual contact with the under-pressure whistler.
Just as well for all concerned.
