Inter accepts Sarri and Napoli apologies over Mancini clash

Apologies from Maurizio Sarri and Napoli over the Coppa Italia row with Roberto Mancini have been accepted by Inter.

Inter has accepted an apology from Maurizio Sarri in a bid to bring an end to the fallout from a heated touchline row between the Napoli coach and Roberto Mancini.

During the closing minutes of Tuesday's Coppa Italia quarterfinal meeting, which Inter won 2-0, Inter boss Mancini was involved in a furious exchange with Sarri.

Speaking after Stevan Jovetic and Adem Ljajic scored second-half goals in his team's victory, Mancini accused Sarri of using the Italian homophobic slurs "frocio" and "finocchio" towards him - labelling his opposite number as "shameful".
