Lorenzo Amoruso, what happened to him: reality shows, the story with Manila Lazzaro, Fiorentina

Rocky defender, with a fair propensity for goal and good with set pieces, Lorenzo Amoruso he made his debut in A with Bari, only to then move on to Fiorentina (with whom he won an Italian Cup) and Rangers, where from 1997 to 2003 he became an idol of the fans. Strong character, as soon as he arrived in Scotland he was disqualified for four matches after spitting on an opponent. In 1999, in a UEFA Cup match against Borussia Dortmund, he said a few too many words to the Nigerian Ikpeba. The latter provokes him with an Italian bastard, the blue’s response is not long in coming. The Federation is calling in a Scottish lip-reader to back up the racism allegations. Black bastard, Lorenzo seems to be saying: Strange – I’ll explain – when I get angry I use bad words in Bari.
