Club America manager Ricardo La Volpe is a known eccentric, something he proved again when he stepped onto the pitch and dispossessed Chivas defender Jesus Sanchez.

With La Volpe’s side 1-0 down in the 76th minute, the Argentine coach took matters into his own hands during the Clasico Nacional with a clean tackle... which unsurprisingly led to his dismissal.

Speculation post-match suggests the game may have been his last in charge of Club America, with las Aguilas sitting 14th in Liga MX.
