Nigeria international defender Ola Aina still has an unresolved future at Italian Serie A side Torino with few weeks to the start of the new season in Italy.
Aina has a year left to run on his contract at the club and he isn’t keen on extending his stay after not having enough game time upon his return from representing Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations.
He hasn’t hidden his desire to leave the club but such conversation isn’t on the menu of the club at the moment, as they have big issue to worry about following a viral video of the coach and sporting director fighting in public.
Torino sporting director Davide Vagnati and manager Ivan Juric were captured on video fighting in the car park at the club’s pre-season training camp in Austria.
Former Genoa and Verona coach Juric has had talks with club president Urbano Cairo several times, showing his disappointment at the bad policy of strengthening the team this summer.
Tensions got heated when the 44-year-old director arrived at the training base and was greeted by Juric, so much so that the pair started fighting in the car park.
Vagnati was physically held back as he and Juric started yelling at each other in a violent exchange. In the video, Juric said: ‘Leave me the f**k alone, I save your life. Go fuck yourself.
To which, Vaganti responded: ‘When you go to the president you don’t tell me anything you are not respecting me.
Juric hit back: ‘I want you to go away. Disappear.
The director stated: ‘I will build the team and you have to coach them, and you have to do it well.’
The two went back and forth with abusive remarks, Juric insisted: ‘You are p**sing me off, get away from me. Get off my d**k.
Vagantin added once again: ‘I will build a strong team… and you have to make them strong.
Juric, who has shown his disappointment in transfer dealings already, then said: ‘You are doing f**k all… you just a f**king imbecile.
To which Vaganti hit back again, saying: ‘You are a f**king nobody. Don’t raise your voice at me.
Juric’s side came came 10th last season, 20 points above the relegation zone and 20 points behind the top four, but they will be hoping for better fortunes this time round.
