Tottenham manager Antonio Conte has come under wrath from Sergiy Stakhovsky after the former remarked on the 'unfair' treatment that Russian athletes are being subjected too in light of their country's war with Ukraine.
Speaking on Saturday, Conte was sympathetic towards Russian athletes who have been impacted by their countries invasion of Ukraine last month. For example, Russian national and club teams were expelled from international competitions on February 28 'until further notice' following the attacks. FIFA and UEFA did not specify their legal reasons.
The Italian's viewpoint has incensed Ukrainian Stakhovsky who took to Instagram to directly message Conte, condemning his words and telling him to 'wake up' to the bigger picture.
