The coach of the Bolivian national team, Mauricio Soria, was recorded hitting a young man in public. The video quickly went viral and the reasons for his reaction are still unknown.
The coach is seen initially approaching the young man with threats of hitting him. The people around try to keep him away, but the anger of the coach was stronger.
Soria grabs him by the neck and starts pulling him from side to side until he drags him onto the road, where he repeatedly hits him while the victim manages to escape amid insults from the coach.
Hours earlier, the new president of the Bolivian Football Federation, César Salinas, commented on the coach's continuity: "Soria has a contract and it must be respected."
