Spontaneous pizza order? Suspended coach glued to his phone in the stands 🍕 | OneFootball

Last night, AC Milan turned the match around against FC Turin after trailing 0-2, overtaking Serie A rivals Inter and Napoli, and thus defending their top position on the 14th matchday. Former BVB star Christian Pulisic particularly shone with a brace within ten minutes shortly after being substituted in.

Milan coach Massimiliano Allegri could only watch this spectacle from the stands – he was suspended and was replaced by his colleague Marco Landucci.

However, Allegri didn't seem too bothered by this: cameras caught him on the phone in the stands – and for more than just a few seconds, during a phase when his team was initially trailing 0-2 (17th minute) and later only 1-2 (24th minute). Whoever the caller was, the Italian evidently didn't want to cut them off despite the inconvenient timing. 

One thing is clear: he likely wasn't giving instructions to his deputy over the phone – suspended coaches are, of course, prohibited from doing so during the game. On "X," the images nevertheless sparked amusement; there were jokes about a possible Italian pizza order, among other things.

Probably unlikely – but still quite unusual for a suspended coach to pick up the phone in the stands while watching his team's game.
