Tuttosport editor Guido Vaciago says Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri threatened and insulted him last night, after winning the Coppa Italia at the Stadio Olimpico in Rome: ‘I’ll rip your ears out.’
Juventus coach Allegri reportedly threatened and insulted Tuttosport editor-in-chief Guido Vaciago last night.
There had been reports that Allegri had had a brutal confrontation with a journalist last night and Vaciago revealed he was the one targeted by the Italian tactician.
The journalist says Allegri told him: ‘Sh** editor, write the truth in your newspaper, not what the clubs tells you.”
Vaciago replied by telling Allegri to remain calm and explain which truths he should be writing, but it didn’t end there. The Italian coach reportedly pushed the journalist and put his finger under his nose, adding: “I know where to find you. I’ll come, and I’ll rip both your ears out. I’ll come and hit you in the face, write the truth in your newspaper.”
The incident happened before Allegri’s post-match press conference, during which the Italian tactician looked emotional and even struggled to hold back the tears multiple times.
The Livorno-born coach had been sent off during the match, losing his temper seconds before full-time.
