Juventus Coach Massimiliano Allegri says ‘tough decisions’ must be taken to curb violence in Italian stadiums.
The Bianconeri will play their next two home games in front of an empty Curva Sud after violence in the derby with Torino, which saw 11 Granata supporters hospitalised after a paper bomb was thrown from the away section.
In addition, the Old Lady’s team bus was assaulted by Toro fans, with rocks smashing a window.

In addition, the Old Lady’s team bus was assaulted by Toro fans, with rocks smashing a window.
“I think that in Italy we have to start taking some tough decisions,” Allegri told Sky when asked about the violence.
“When you take tough decisions, someone will always be unhappy, but if we want to solve these kind of problems I don’t think it’s enough to close the curva.
“That means 10,000 people pay for the actions of a few idiots, in particular a few violent and dangerous idiots.
“It’s also a social issue, because if you’re assaulting a bus while carrying a child in your arms, I don’t think that’s a very good example for children.
“We need to change in Italy, and at the moment we’re not a country which likes to change things. Making is always very difficult and important.”
