The Hungarian national coach Marco Rossi caused laughter after the EM-team from the "death group".
Manuel Neuer also got his fat off.
Budapest - In professional football, the head coaches usually keep a low profile, hardly making headlines next to the pitch compared to their players.
Only a few coaches are active in social media, very few post regularly and thus avoid new headlines.
Hungary's national coach Marco Rossi surprised the group opponents not only during the tournament with a passionate style of play.
Even after leaving, he drew attention to himself when he teased the teams from the so-called “death group” of the European Championship *.
EM 2021: All teams in the “death group” were eliminated - Hungary's coach allowed himself a nasty joke
The Italian trainer has more than 57 thousand subscribers on Instagram and mostly provides them with pictures from private life or from the football field.
On Wednesday, the 56-year-old shared a meme for a change that immediately caused a sensation.
The photo montage posted shows the coach on a beach, alongside Rossi are Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappé and Manuel Neuer * - all three stars pull trolleys behind them.
The message is clearly formulated: "See you on the beach", is under Rossi's funny picture, in which, given the early departure of the Hungarians, there is also a healthy dose of self-irony.
But there is also some malice in the game, with the reigning European champions Portugal, world champions France and Germany, three well-known teams flew out of the competition surprisingly early in the round of 16.

EM 2021: Hungary's team with strong performances - close out in the preliminary round against the DFB team
The Hungarians didn't do badly against the big nations, they kept a 0-0 against the Portuguese until five minutes before the end, but in the end they had to admit defeat 3-0.
A first respectable success was achieved against the French star ensemble, from which a 1-1 draw was wrested.
The Hungarians led against Germany for a long time and ultimately only narrowly failed to make it into the knockout phase.
A few minutes before the end, Leon Goretzka saved the DFB-Elf in the next round.
The Hungarian team * was eliminated.
The Italian, who has been in charge of the Hungarian national team since 2018, is celebrated on the internet for his contribution.
It is not known whether the three retired stars find the photo just as funny.
In any case, Rossi did without any markings.
