VIDEO: Gheorghe Hagi berates his own player for diving; shoves him back on the pitch

Romanian legend Gheorghe Hagi now manages club side Viitorul and clearly doesn’t tolerate any diving nonsense - even from his own players.

Romario Benzar went to ground very easily in a match against FC Astra Giurgiu and his manager was not impressed.

Hagi ran the down the sideline to address the situation.

First he physically pulled the cub medics away from the play-acting footballer - and then clearly told Benzar in no uncertain terms to get back on the pitch.

We’re betting that’s one player who won’t try diving again in a hurry.

Viitorul went on to lose the game 2-1, but we think Hagi was the moral winner.
