Napoli coach Antonio Conte was sent off in the second half of an away game at Inter and screamed in the face of the fourth official before making his way to the tunnel.
Tensions erupted in the second half of Inter-Napoli when the Nerazzurri were awarded a penalty kick by VAR for an Amir Rrahmani step on Henrikh Mkhitaryan’s foot.
Referee Daniele Doveri was urged to the pitchside monitor as he had not spotted the foul initially, but when he announced his decision after the review, Conte angrily kicked a ball from the touchline towards Inter’s goalline.
The match official was informed about Conte’s behaviour and showed him a red card, which infuriated the Italian tactician even more.
Before leaving the pitch, the Napoli boss threw a bottle to the ground and then screamed in the face of the fourth official before leaving the pitch.
According to Sport Mediaset, Conte repeatedly screamed: “Shame on you, shame on you all.”
Hakan Calhanoglu converted the spot kick to give Inter a 2-1 lead, but Scott McTominay scored the equaliser a few minutes later.
