The Napoli-Milan match in the semi-finals of the Supercoppa Italia was a battle won by the Neapolitans 2-0, but there was another battle on the benches.

This was something we were unaware of until Napoli released a statement on Friday morning to publicly denounce Massimiliano Allegri for his insults to Lele Oriali.

Lele Oriali is a football legend and also renowned on the benches for being an assistant to Antonio Conte in many teams and to Roberto Mancini in the EURO that Italy won in 2021.

According to the correspondent from Sportitalia, Tancredi Palmeri, Allegri allegedly said to Oriali, "He said five things in a row. The first was 'sit down, idiot'. The second was 'imbecile'. The third was 'idiot'. He ended this series of insults with an expression that wasn't offensive, but it's curious that someone would say something like that at such a moment."

According to the broadcaster's correspondent, Allegri supposedly shouted at Oriali: "'Eighties guy!'. He insulted him nonstop. And I remember the last insult; it wasn't such a generic insult. The fifth insult he threw was: 'You're a brown-noser'. As if to say: 'You're there because you're Conte's lackey,'" he concluded.
