Chievo defender Fabrizio Cacciatore has publicly apologised for the "unprofessional" ‘handcuffs’ gesture that saw him sent off against Juventus.
The Flying Donkeys were already down to 10 men when Cacciatore made the gesture in protest at the referee, both in front of him and then behind his back as he stood at the touchline.
“I apologise publicly for the gesture I made, it was an enormous error,” wrote Cacciatore on Instagram after the 2-0 defeat.

“I apologise publicly for the gesture I made, it was an enormous error,” wrote Cacciatore on Instagram after the 2-0 defeat.
“I apologise to my teammates, the Coach, the club, our fans and all lovers of football. It was certainly wrong, something that shouldn’t be done, an example that a professional should not set.
“I’m sorry that I left my teammates in a difficult situation, as they were fighting hard from the first to the last minute…
“It was an impulsive letting out of steam and, as is only right, I paid a heavy price for it… SORRY.”
