Super Eagles winger, Ademola Lookman, had to be held back during a furious row after being grabbed by his Atalanta manager, Ivan Juric, on Wednesday night, October 5.

The former Fulham winger, 28, was substituted in the home Champions League game against Marseille that the Italian side went on to win 1-0. 

In the 74th minute, Juric took off Lookman for Yunus Musah. As the forward walked off, TV cameras caught a heated exchange between the two men before Juric was seen pulling and pushing him. CEO Luca Percassi and team-mate Marten de Roon had to quickly intervene to calm the situation, preventing it from escalating further

After the game, Juric went over to the Nigerian and they exchanged words again, according to Gazzetta dello Sport.

Lookman’s relationship with Atalanta has already faced scrutiny, stemming from past friction with former manager Gian Piero Gasperini, who once labelled him “the worst penalty taker” he had ever seen

After an unsuccessful attempt to leave the club during the summer, this latest incident has once again sparked questions over his future with the Serie A side.
