Goalkeeper coach of Argentina's River Plate resigns

 Ubaldo Fillol, the coach for goalkeepers of the Argentine soccer club River Plate resigned his post on Tuesday following a public fallout after an incident with goalkeeper Juan Pablo Carrizo.

"I do not forgive these kinds of attitudes," Fillol said in his blog. Fillol, 60 years old, was referring to the attitude of Carrizo who on Sunday made a mistake during a match against San Lorenzo club which resulted in a 1-1 tie.

At the end of the match against San Lorenzo, Carrizo refused to shake hands with Fillol, who had been waiting for Carrizo to express his support for him.

"I want to make it clear that I do not want to be in the place of the victim and I want everybody to understand this," said Fillol, adding: "About what happened on Sunday and which was witnessed on TV, I feel very hurt, more hurt than I ever could have imagined about this surprising attitude from this person."

Sunday's error was the second error last week for the River Plate team that suffered self score, which gave the Boca Juniors team an additional goal advantage to end at 0-2.

On Monday, Carrizo openly apologized to Fillol.
