More information and footage continues to emerge of Massimiliano Allegri’s tirade against Napoli’s assistant coach last night.
La Gazzetta dello Sport report that the battle between Napoli and Milan in the Supercoppa Italiana semi-final didn’t just happen on the pitch. The Italian champions didn’t like the attitude of Allegri in the final few minutes, and tensions escalated between the two benches.
More than anything, it was Allegri who lost control and began insulting Lele Oriali repeatedly. According to Sportitalia’s Tancredi Palmeri (via Tribuna) – who was present at the King Saud University Stadium – there were five insults used.
“Five things in a row. The first thing he said to him was ‘sit down, you coglione [a general Italian insult]’. The second thing he said to him was ‘idiot’. The third thing he said to him was ‘imbecline’.
“He closed this series of insults with an expression that is not offensive, but it makes you laugh that at a time like that, namely ‘eighty-year-old man’. The fifth insult he hurled at him was ‘you’re an ass-kisser’.”
Now, we must seen what punishment awaits for the coach, though apparently a fine is the most likely outcome rather than a suspension.
