A manager has been axed by his non league club days after a match descends into bizarre chaos with heated kicking incident.
Quedgeley Wanderers have been left appalled by the actions of boss Michael Mayes after lashing out at Gala Wilton manager Stu Griffiths.
A video of the moment has gone viral on social media showing Mayes kicking out at Griffiths as the manager sprinted down the touchline celebrating the winning goal in what was a 5-4 win for Gala Wilton in the Gloucestershire County League.
An eye-witness described the incident to Severn Sport: “Gala had just scored a last minute winner, having been 4-2 down with about 15 minutes to play.
The Gala manager’s reaction was to run and celebrate with his players and it appeared to be genuine emotion and not to provoke.
The Quedgeley manager has had a moment of madness and kicked him. Fair play to the Gala manager, he hasn’t reacted to it and maintained his calm.”
