Hull boss Phil Brown has launched a furious attack on Geovanni after the player reacted petulantly to his substitution during the 2-1 loss at home to Blackburn on Sunday.
The defeat leaves Hull in real trouble as they have now won only one of their last 18 games in the league, and Geovanni showed his frustration as he was taken off after 53 minutes at the KC Stadium with his side 2-0 down.
Both Geovanni and the home fans appeared angry at the decision and, although Brown confirmed the former Brazil international still has a role to play for The Tigers, he suggested he would be happy to see the player fail his drugs test.
"He will never do that to me again," he said.
"It’s quite simple: I am the manager.
“I haven't spoken to him yet. He's getting drugs-tested so hopefully they will find that positive.”
He added: "Geovanni is not bigger than this football club – it's as simple as that. I don't think he was having a positive impact on the game.
"I'm there to make big decisions and if the fans don't like it then they don't like it. There is nothing I can do about that.”
I think Hull has become a victim of Relegation Zone?
