Top football boss gets whacked by ball from his own player

One manager got a little too close to the action recently…

Inter Milan manager Roberto Mancini for more than he bargained when his side took on Genoa in Serie A today.

A clearance from Marco Andreolli hit his boss right in the face, sending the former Man City manager crashing to the ground.

As a hardened former footballer himself, Mancini took it in good humour - Inter were already 2-0 up, and ran out 3-1 winners in the end.

Andreolli will be looking nervously at that next teamsheet though...
