WATCH: Argentine manager receives red card for incredibly idiotic act

What the hell was he thinking?

There are certain things managers know they can't do without getting sent to the stands. You might get away with a few heated words with the fourth official, you may get off scot-free with throwing a bottle to the turf in frustration, but going onto the field and tackling a player is a guaranteed red card. Perhaps that was weighing on Ricardo La Volpe's mind when he decided to do what he did while his Club America side were a goal and a man down against Chivas. With only 15 minutes left to play, rather than have to endure seeing his team slump to another poor result, he put himself out of his misery by ensuring he was taken out of the game. Chivas' Jesus Sanchez tried to keep a wide ball active by pulling it back into play after it crossed the touchline, but La Volpe didn't like his eagerness. So he stopped him in his tracks by coming onto the field and putting the foot in. The right back went crashing down to the ground in a heap, while the manager was given his marching orders. Honestly, what did he expect would happen? https://twitter.com/UnivisionSports/status/833175229924904960?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw
