A video has emerged showing former Argentina and Barcelona defender Gabriel Milito involved in a brawl with a counterpart.

Milito is currently the coach of the Argentine team Argentinos Juniors, who play in the country's top division.

The 41-year-old was sent off during the clash with Central Cordoba after protesting a referee's decision.

He then got into an argument with Facundo Gareca – a member of Cardoba's coaching staff, who was also sent off.

Milito couldn't settle down despite his side winning 2-1, and he waited for Gareca in the tunnel.

Footage shows the former defender approaching Gareca and eventually trying to throw a few punches as a number of people, including security, tried to intervene.

Milito was then removed from the premises by the police, who took him to the station to take a statement.

The case, however, will not go any further, as reported by Mundo Deportivo.

This is not the first time that Milito has been involved in a similar fight.

In November last year he was sent off during a cup match and had to be accompanied to the dressing room by his assistant to avoid further sanctions.

During his playing days, Milito played for Independiente, Real Zaragoza and Barcelona.

He also has 42 caps for Argentina and was part of the 2006 World Cup squad.

His career was cut short by injuries and he has since managed Estudiantes, O'Higgins and now Argentinos Juniors.
