Valencia have hit out Atalanta coach Gian Piero Gasperini after he confessed to attending the second-leg of their Champions League last-16 tie in Spain despite suffering from coronavirus.
In an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport, Gasperini revealed he was sick and scared the day before the game on March 10 but still attended and managed his team from the bench as they claimed a 4-3 win on the night to seal an 8-4 aggregate victory.
While not tested for coronavirus at the time, tests since have shown the Atalanta manager now has coronavirus antibodies stemming from having had the illness at some point.
