Inter Coach Roberto Mancini calls for Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis to respond to Maurizio Sarri’s comments: “Do you have nothing to say?”
The two bosses clashed on the touchline after the Nerazzurri’s 2-0 Coppa Italia win on Tuesday, after which Mancini accused Sarri of using racist and homophobic language.
Mancio clarified his own sexuality today, while calling on a response from the Partenopei and showing frustration at the unlikeliness of Sarri being severely punished.

Mancio clarified his own sexuality today, while calling on a response from the Partenopei and showing frustration at the unlikeliness of Sarri being severely punished.
“Am I gay? Maybe in the heat of the argument I was misunderstood,” he said to La Repubblica.
“I just said that if all men were like Sarri, then I would be proud to be gay. I obviously respect all sexual tastes, but I like women, and only women.
“Am I surprised at the resonance this has had abroad? Not a bit. It seems normal and right. Abroad, there’s a different perception of these stories.
“In fact, I’ll reiterate what I said then and there: in other countries, like in England, a Coach who said similar words against a colleague wouldn’t set foot on the pitch again.
“How will it end? The Italian way, no? Two rounds of disqualification and then move on…
“Instead, I’ll ask one thing. Napoli aren’t saying anything? The President of Napoli has nothing to say?”
