Antonio Conte Slams Italian Fans over Romelu Lukaku's Racist Abuse Incident

Inter Milan manager Antonio Conte took aim at Italian fans over the racist abuse Romelu Lukaku faced against Cagliari, saying the situation regressed during his time away from Serie A.

Per Football Italia, the former Juventus, Chelsea and national team coach faced the press ahead of the derby match against AC Milan, and he did not shy away from the criticism:

"Racism is a problem in Italy, but so is any kind of insult, and after three years away, I find Italy has regressed.

"People write exclusively to foment hatred. Italy has become far worse lately and we are all to blame.
