Bonucci 'expressed himself badly' over Kean's racist abuse - Allegri

Italy and Juventus forward Moise Kean

Massimiliano Allegri, Juventus Manager, has said, Leonardo Bonucci "expressed himself badly" in reacting to racist abuse suffered by Moise Kean.


19-year old Kean was a target of racist chants at Cagliari with captain Bonucci saying the player's goal celebration meant he was partly to blame.

But Allegri said: "With his mind still on the game, post-match, he expressed himself badly.

"He realised this and apologised. These two things are distinct."

"Racism must always be fought and is never justifiable," the Manager added.

Kean celebrated with his arms out-stretched after scoring in the 2-0 win.

Of his suggestion the striker was in any way to blame for the abuse he suffered, Bonucci later stated he was "clearly misunderstood" and was "too hasty" in his comments.
