Players threatens coach at gunpoint

A coach in the lower leagues in Argentina has quit his post after being threatened at gunpoint by one of his own players. "I've been involved with the club for more than 45 years and nothing like this has ever happened," Cristian Neira, manager of Escuela Presidente Roca, said after Cesar Pagani pulled a pistol on him during a training session and said he would kill him if he wasn't included in the starting line-up. "It's not possible to just let this pass. He will have to be held accountable by the justice system." The police were called after the incident and have decided to place officers at the club's training ground.
