What happens
L'allenatore nel pallone (also known as Trainer on the Beach) is a 1984 Italian comedy film directed by Sergio Martino. The title means literally The coach in the ball (were the word pallone means both ball and soccer/football), a pun on the Italian idiom "to go in the ball" which means "to get confused" or "to lose one's mind". The film was a box office success and achieved a large cult status in Italy, mainly thanks to the many cameo appearances by soccer players, coaches and journalists. The film had a sequel in 2008, L'allenatore nel pallone 2. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
