Fanaticism in Italy has reached an unprecedented level. Fans of Torino FC staged a protest by piling up feces outside the 'Filadelfia' training ground. This was a demonstration against the team's 15th place in Serie A, just 3 points away from Lecce, who are 18th and threatened with relegation to Serie B. The fans' patience ran out, and they hung a banner on the gate reading 'Shit like Cairo,' referring to club president Urbano Cairo. The team has not won in its last 7 matches, including a 0:6 thrashing by Como, elimination from the Coppa Italia by Inter Milan, and a recent 0:3 loss to Genoa. This led to the dismissal of head coach Marco Baroni and the immediate appointment of former Empoli manager Roberto D'Aversi, who will only be in charge until the end of the season.
