Rivals accuse top manager of losing his cool completely | OneFootball

It seems like there was quite a clash! After the Italian Supercoppa semi-final against Milan, Napoli is making serious accusations against Massimiliano Allegri.

The Neapolitan club accuses the Milan coach of severely and repeatedly insulting Napoli team manager Gabriele "Lele" Oriali during the match. In a statement released by the club on Friday morning, the coach's behavior was sharply criticized.

Allegri allegedly attacked Oriali with insulting and repeated expressions not only in the presence of numerous people on the sidelines but also during the television broadcast. The club emphasized that such an outburst should not go unnoticed—especially given the fact that 33 cameras were focused on the game, making the events clearly traceable.

Already during the match, there was a tense atmosphere between the two benches. As reported by 'La Gazzetta dello Sport', there were multiple verbal exchanges, prompting Napoli coach Antonio Conte to try to calm the situation with all involved towards the end of the match. It was also noticeable that after the final whistle, there was no visible handshake or greeting between Allegri and Conte.

The trigger for the escalation is considered to be a controversial scene after about 30 minutes: Milan player Adrien Rabiot committed a hard foul on Matteo Politano and kicked the opponent from the ground. Despite the harsh action, no warning was issued, which caused great displeasure on the Napoli bench. After the final whistle, Conte did bid farewell to Milan assistant coach Marco Landucci and some players but deliberately avoided direct contact with Allegri.

However, after the game, neither Conte nor Allegri commented on the incident. Since Napoli is pushing for a detailed review of the television footage, the last word on this matter is likely yet to be spoken.
