Mancini urges Serie A to 'get tough' on racism after 'unacceptable' Kean abuse

Italy head coach Roberto Mancini has described the alleged racist abuse of Moise Kean as "unacceptable" but believes the comments of his team-mate Leonardo Bonucci have been "misunderstood".

Kean's fine display in his side's 2-0 Serie A win against Cagliari on Tuesday was overshadowed by allegations of racist chanting against the 19-year-old, who scored Juve's second goal.

The Italy international celebrated his late strike in front of Cagliari's supporters amid ongoing abuse, and Bonucci said after the match that Kean should take some of the blame for the taunts because he incited the home crowd.
