Conte gets dire threats
Print Edition
ITALY coach Antonio Conte has received death threats from angry Juventus fans who blame his training methods for the injury that will probably rule midfielder Claudio Marchisio out for the rest of the season.
Marchisio suffered ruptured knee ligaments during the warm-up for Friday’s Italy’s training session ahead of the Euro 2016 qualifier against Bulgaria yesterday and returned to the Serie A leader for treatment.
“I saw him (Conte) shaken this morning,” Italian football federation (FIGC) president Carlo Tavecchio told Radio Rai yesterday. “After yesterday’s controversy, he received death threats on the internet.
“I met with Conte for a long time and he is not calm. All these things have been said on social networks and he feels vilified for something that is not his fault. The FIGC stands by him.”
Conte was criticized by John Elkann, the president of the holding company which controls FIAT and Juventus, who said the Italy coach worked the players too hard during the national team’s training camps.
