Pescara coach faints during the game!

There was a scary sight in a Serie B match this weekend. Pescara coach Gianluca Grassadonia fainted during the game with Pep Clotet's Brescia.

He fainted in the 86th minute while he was on the bench. The referee immediately stopped the encounter and he called for the medical staff to attend to Grassadonia. 

Grassadonia went straight to hospital to have more tests on him. 'La Gazzetta dello Sport' reported that the Pescara coach had suffered from fever in recent days. 

The coach had experienced something similar when he was a professional footballer. He suffered a cardiac arrest in the 1998-99 season during a Udinese v Cagliari after colliding with Locatelli.
