Sampdoria coach Alberto Cavasin and players clashed furiously with fans at training this week.

On Saturday night a group of ultras invaded the team bus on its way back from the 3-0 defeat to Milan, making death threats and smashing the windscreen.

Then yesterday fans repeatedly called for Coach Cavasin to resign and he went outside the ground to talk to them.

This turned into a heated argument and it's reported Cavasin got into a shoving match with some of the supporters.

The security staff intervened to take the tactician away, but there were also arguments between fans and players, such as Massimo Maccarone, as they arrived at the training ground.
