Being a football coach is sometimes highly stressful due to sky-high expectations and issues with a boardroom and players. But it never gets that bad, like when your own fans turn against you. And especially if they do that even before your maiden game in charge!?##NAJAVA_MECA_6490301##That’s precisely what occurred in Ljubljana, the capital of Slovenia, on Monday as Albert Riera, former Liverpool winger, was about to be presented as the new boss of Slovenian powerhouse Olimpija.Riera and Mascherano attack Essien back in 2009 (©Ian Walton/Getty Images)Although they’re greats in this tiny Balkans-based country, Olimpija have been through some tough times in the past couple of months.It is difficult to guess what the former Liverpool player did to ultras, and it probably has nothing to do with the Spaniard himself. Anyhow, a group of 20 hooligans, most of them with masks over their faces, suddenly rushed into the room and reached the table where Riera was sitting along with Olimpija’s board members.😡 ¡¡¡LAMENTABLE!!!😱 Los ultras del Olimpija Ljubiljana expulsan a Albert Riera en su presentación como nuevo entrenador del club📻 #PartidazoCOPE pic.twitter.com/hbpNG2cO5Q— El Partidazo de COPE (@partidazocope) July 4, 2022 “You are not welcome here!,” said one of the members of the ultras group Green Dragons and then addressed the club chairman: “We will deal with you in a different way.”Riera tried to talk to the fans, but since they were persistent, he got up and left, so it’s uncertain if he’ll even stay with the club or pack his bags and run away as quickly as possible.
