Italy coach slams 'unacceptable' Kean abuse

ANDREAS SOLARO / AFP

Italy coach Roberto Mancini has described the racist abuse suffered by Juventus forward Moise Kean as intolerable.

But he believes the comments of his team-mate Leonardo Bonucci suggesting Kean had brought it upon himself have been “misunderstood”.

Kean was subjected to racist chanting after he celebrated his second goal in a 2-0 win in front of the Cagliari fans.

"It can't go on. It needs action and it needs to be tough," Mancini said.
