Clotet, 47 years old, who managed Oxford and Birmingham between 2017-2020, contributed to the development of Jude Bellingham during his time at Birmingham. After leaving Birmingham, the Spanish coach served three terms at the Italian team Brescia and also worked at SPAL and Torpedo Moscow. Last month, he took over as head coach of the Italian third division team Triestina. The management of the club, which is at the bottom of Serie C, hoped that their new head coach would instill a fighting spirit in the team. However, what happened was probably not what they expected. In the 33rd minute of the match against Giana Erminio, forward Raimonds Krollis, who was struggling to score, received a straight red card. The Latvian player caught Clotet's attention as he left the field. Instead of going to the locker room, Krollis walked towards his coach, and Clotet, seeing this, angrily grabbed his player's collar and started shaking him. Playing with 10 men for about an hour, Triestina lost the match 1-0 with Gabriel Avinci's goal in the 87th minute. With this result, Triestina, which has only collected 6 points in 14 matches, remained at the bottom of the league. Clotet, who took office on October 21, managed to collect only 2 points in four matches. Triestina's last victory came on August 24 against Arzignano.
