Turco Mohamed clashes with journalist in the middle of celebrations | OneFootball

Antonio Mohamed went from euphoria over the championship to controversy in a matter of seconds. In the midst of the celebrations for Toluca's victory in the Mexican Apertura Tournament, the Argentine coach exploded live against journalist David Faitelson over a previous criticism of a tactical decision.

"He was very out of line, he spoke about my ethics and morals. Let him come and say it to my face if he has the guts," the Turco said in front of the cameras, visibly upset. The clash originated from the goalkeeper change in the final against Tigres, a decision that had been questioned before the match.

Far from extinguishing the fire, Faitelson later responded on social media with a harsh statement, criticizing the coach's behavior and accusing him of losing his composure. The scandal overshadowed a historic night: Toluca was crowned champion by penalties and Mohamed added his fifth star in Mexican football, although this time the celebration was marked by controversy.
