Bonucci tells Italy fan to 'GET OFF' the team bus after she tried to get photos with the squad

Juventus defender Leonardo Bonucci has been filmed yelling at an Italian fan to 'get off' the team bus after she tried to get pictures with the players.

Italy have not qualified for the World Cup, but are still playing friendlies ahead of the tournament. They beat Albania 3-1 on Wednesday, and are set to face Austria on Sunday.

An eager supporter wanted to get some photos with the squad, and got onto the bus but she was abruptly stopped by Bonucci, who shouted at her to 'get off'.

The woman replied: 'They told me I could go up.' It appears that she was referring to Italy manager Roberto Mancini.

Bonucci was unwilling to compromise, though, insisting: 'No, no, get off. Quickly. Go!'

Bonucci's behaviour has been criticised in Italy, with fans disappointed with his lack of empathy for the woman, who was clearly excited to meet her heroes.

Despite winning the Euros last year, the national team's popularity has dipped dramatically over the past 12 months following their failure to qualify for Qatar.

Getting the fans back on side would appear to be vital for Italy, but Bonucci's actions look to have harmed their chances of that happening.

Bonucci is still a mainstay in the Italy side, but has experienced his worst season at Juventus since his return to Turin after an unfortunate 12-month stint at AC Milan.

He is now almost exclusively left on the bench, acting as Bremer's understudy. Massimiliano Allegri has preferred to field other players to play alongside the Brazilian, with Danilo, Federico Gatti and Alex Sandro limiting Bonucci's opportunities.

Bonucci has only featured in nine games of Juventus' 15 Serie A games, and has not taken part in the team's best matches, remaining on the bench or entering only in the final minutes.

His physical condition seems to be more and more precarious, and his lack of pace is becoming more of an issue as he moves towards the latter stages of his career.
