Spalletti threatens a player during the Juventus victory

Juventus manager Luciano Spalletti lost his temper with one of his players during the Europa League match against AZ Alkmaar on Thursday evening. According to several sources, the Italian coach threatened his defender Juan Cabal while the Turin side was winning the match on the opponent's pitch (1-2).

Spalletti did not appreciate a playing error made by Cabal late in the game, despite the victory already being secured. "I'm going to hit you," he shouted at his player, according to RMC Sport.

The incident occurred just as the Italian players were about to seal their final victory against the Dutch team (2-1), as reported by Foot Mercato. Despite this Europa League win, Spalletti showed his anger at his defender's performance.

The Italian coach's behavior has been widely commented on and criticized in the sports media over the last few days.
