This is the wild moment an Italian coach was given one of football's most bizarre red cards after rushing onto the pitch and tackling a player to stop an attack.<br /><br />Subbiano manager Alessio Guidotti landed himself in hot water after a moment of madness during his side's sixth-tier game against Pontassieve this weekend.<br /><br />After a Pontassieve forward looked to charge through on goal, the coach emerged from his dugout and hacked him down before looking to apologize.<br /><br /><br />The barely believable footage has gone viral on social media and is made even more mind-boggling by Guidotti's attempt to excuse his actions before being sent off.<br /><br />Clad in a bright orange bib, the tactician held up his arms in the air, seemingly in a desperate bid to protest against the dismissal that was about to come his way. <br /><br />Unsurprisingly, several Pontassieve players furiously surrounded him, forcing the linesman to step across and break up the group before tensions boiled over.<br /><br />After the match, Pontassieve coach Marco Guidi condemned Guidotti's decision.<br /><br />'I am mostly sorry for Subbiano because they are a famous and respectful club,' he told local media.<br /><br />'Their coach's attitude sullied them and affected the game's outcome because we were attacking two against one.'<br /><br />Subbiano also released their statement on the incident and did not hold back in delivering a withering putdown of Guidotti's loss of control.<br /><br />'The club is deeply sorry for what happened during Pontassieve-Subbiano,' they said.<br /><br />'Certain incidents should never happen, and we surely are the first ones to be upset.<br /><br />'On Sundays, we are all football fans who come to watch games driven by passion.<br /><br />'To get an advantage this way is unfair and deserves punishment, as it has partially happened already.<br /><br />'At the same time, however, we are convinced that it was not a violent incident, and we are even more convinced that our coach, Guidotti, is the first one to be sorry. <br /><br />'There's not much to add. We hope tones will be kept down as they have been as unpleasant as the incident itself.'
