‘Italy is not a racist country': Giorgio Chiellini opens up on Napoli players being racially abused by Fiorentina fans

Napoli players Kalidou Koulibaly, Victor Osimhen, and Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa were all victims of racial abuse during their 2-1 win over Fiorentina recently.

Speaking about this, Italy captain Giorgio Chiellini said: “t is unacceptable. We need laws and rules that are applied, this is the most important thing.

“I was ashamed, as an Italian and a Tuscan, also because Italy is not a racist country for me. Something more must be done, otherwise from outside we give a bad image of ourselves.”

Koulibaly revealed on Twitter after the game that he was called a ‘monkey’ by supporters during the game.

The Italian FA or Serie A are yet to take any action on Fiorentina for this as racism issues persist in the league.
