Conte appears to hit back at Napoli fans after McTominay’s goal | OneFootball

Antonio Conte appeared to hit back and insult Napoli fans in the main stands at Monza after Scott McTominay’s winning goal yesterday.

The Partenopei returned to the top of the table on Saturday, beating Monza 1-0 away.

There was tension before, during, and after the game, as President Aurelio De Laurentiis responded to the coach, who had not hidden his frustration with the club management on the eve of the match.

Not even McTominay’s goal calmed the waters, given that, as reported by RAI (via TuttoNapoli), Conte appeared to insult the Partenopei supporters in the main stand at Monza after the midfielder’s strike.

RAI showed a video where Conte appeared to repeatedly shout insulting words towards the main stands (fu** off) while celebrating McTominay’s goal.

According to the report, some Napoli fans in the main stand had been criticising the coach, urging him to make early substitutions.

DAZN also reported that Conte looked irritable during the match due to the fans’ requests from the stands.

The Italian tactician’s frustration was again visible during post-match interviews.

“I cannot live on miracles rather than planning,” he said at a post-match press conference.

“I don’t want to be massacred. I saw looting of our projects.”
