Gabriel Heinze told his Atlanta United squad to limit the amount of water they drank, refused to give them days off and told them to always keep their phones on before his sacking from the MLS side, according to reports.
The former Manchester United and Argentina defender was sacked from his head coach role at the American outfit on Monday after just half a year in charge, following just two wins from his opening 13 league games in charge.
As well as the on-pitch struggles, Heinze fell out with several senior members of the club - including star player Josef Martinez - who the 43-year-old head coach ordered to train on his own after he returned back from this summer's Copa America.
