The Inter coach had words with the former owner of his club during and after Tuesday’s game in Turin
Inter coach Antonio Conte has demanded “more sportsmanship and respect” from Juventus president Andrea Agnelli after the two met on Tuesday.
Juve and Inter drew 0-0 in the second leg of the Coppa Italia semi-final, and Juventus advanced to the final with a 2-1 aggregate victory.
During and after the match, Conte and Agnelli appeared to exchange insults, with the Juventus president in the stands yelling at the Inter manager on the pitch.
What did Conte say about the clash with Agnelli?
Speaking to Rai 1 after the game, Conte said: “Juventus should tell the truth. I think the fourth official listened and saw what happened throughout the match.
“They should be more polite in my opinion. They need more sportsmanship and respect for those who work ”.
At his post-game press conference, Conte added: “What happened at the end of the game? I have neither the desire nor the pleasure to comment on anything. I think that in all things there has to be education. Enough.”
What is the history between Conte and Agnelli?
Conte was a star for Juventus as a player, made more than 500 appearances for the club and won five league titles.
In 2011, Conte returned to Juve to serve as head coach and oversaw a period of great success on the field, winning three consecutive Serie A titles.
But Conte’s relationship with the club and Agnelli soured and he resigned in 2014 during the club’s preseason.
Conte further enraged Juve supporters in 2019 when he took over as head coach of the club’s fierce rival Inter.
What did Conte say about the match?
“In my opinion, we should have scored the chances that we created and it’s a shame, because after 180 minutes we saw two teams fighting to the end,” Conte told Rai 1 about the goalless draw.
“We paid for the first leg, for some gifts we gave them. We tried to score until the end, because with a goal they would have had more difficulty.
“I’m sorry because they are games that are played in 180 minutes. Today we try in every way, with desire and determination.
“You make mistakes, you have to learn from mistakes and then start over and try again.”
