People, Do NOT Mess with Serse Cosmi

Jesus, what is it with watch-muggings in Italy? Poor Bobo Vieri was held up back in February for his outrageously expensive watch (Seriously. It was worth €16,000. That’s, like, a small car, for the love of God), and just today the great Serse Cosmi was robbed getting out of his car in the middle of Brescia, and had two Rolexes stolen. Bastards!

Just like Bobo, Cosmi was innocently parking his car in the middle of the day when he was approached by a couple of guys on a scooter. Figuring they were Brescia fans coming to tell him how much they adored him, he greeted them, only to have them demand his watch(es). (In case you were wondering, the one who spoke had “a marked Neapolitan accent.”) He apparently handed the goods over and then chased the hooligans to kick their asses, but was unsurprisingly left in the dust when they sped off. (Was he wearing both watches? Seriously? Because I think that would make him even more pimp that he already is.)

Already in a foul mood after seeing his team draw 2-2 with Bologna last night, Cosmi is even more pissed-off now, getting, he says, more angry by the minute. Despite his rage, however, he was still able to come up with a good quip for the press, saying “Just after we were robbed on the pitch I was robbed off the pitch.” Yeah, he’s just that smooth.
