A professional soccer coach in Bulgaria stole the referee's red and yellow cards and threw them away during an unprofessional meltdown after one of his players was tossed from a match last Saturday.Botev Vratsa head coach Antoni Zdravkov was upset defender Nikolay Marinov was given a red card for a handball inside the penalty box in the 17th minute of the match. After CSKA Sofia forward Michel Platini converted the ensuing penalty kick for a goal, Zdravkov completely lost it.
After making some noise on the sideline, Zdravkov somehow managed to steal the referee's yellow and red cards and tried to rip them up. However, when the lamination on the cards made them too hard to rip, Zdravkov then threw away the cards to put an exclamation point on his immature tantrum. What kind of example is this supposed to set for the players and the fans watching?
To add the final insult, Botev Vratsa lost the match to CSKA Sofia 4-3.
