Revealed: Spalletti argued with Mazzarri before awkward handshake
Mazzarri, in fact, is reported to have replied to Spalletti saying: “This guys is crazy”.
The two managers seemed to be a bit nervous also during the post-match interviews: “Mazzarri is always a bit scared, even when he wins”, Spalletti said.
“He shouldn’t be scared, he should have given me a handshake or not give it to me at all if he didn’t want to.”
Yet again, Mazzarri’s reply was pretty straightforward: “Spalletti was going to greet the referees without coming to me for the handshake. I went to him and he made a strange smile when he saw me. I told him nothing, I wanted to have respect, which is something he forgot.”
