Chelsea coach Marco Ianni should be sacked for taunting Manchester United boss Jose Mourinho according to England Women’s manager Phil Neville.
The Blues hosted United on Saturday lunchtime with England international Ross Barkley scoring in the dying moments to salvage a 2-2 draw for the home side and preserve their unbeaten start to their Premier League campaign.
In amongst the aftermath of the goal, Chelsea coach Ianni celebrated enthusiastically in front of former Blues boss Mourinho which provoked the Portuguese manager to attempt to confront Ianni, resulting in a touchline melee moments before the final whistle.
After the match, Chelsea boss Maurizio Sarri – who wasn’t involved in the incident – admitted that Ianni apologised to Mourinho after full-time. However, former United defender Neville believes the coach should be relinquished of his role at the west London club.
Neville, commentating on American TV channel NBC at the time (via the Mirror) said: “Whoever that staff member is of Chelsea has just been an absolute disgrace. No class, no humility.
“He’s gone straight into the face of Jose Mourinho, Michael Carrick and the Manchester United bench and just celebrated in their face. Absolutely disgraceful.
“He’s (Mourinho) the innocent one in all this. The guy on the Chelsea bench has run straight past him, celebrated in his face.
“Sarri celebrates. Then its this guy here who goes in front of Jose Mourinho. The first one he clenches his fist, and then as he goes back he celebrates again right in front of him. Disgraceful.
“If I was Maurizio Sarri I’d send that guy in and sack him from the club.”
Mario Balotelli mocks Man Utd too
Things didn’t turn out the way Mourinho and his United side wanted in the end at Stamford Bridge. After going behind through an Antonio Rüdiger header, two goals from Anthony Martial made it seem all three points were heading back to Manchester.
Barkley’s late strike denied them of a fantastic victory in England’s capital, which seemed to delight former Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
The controversial forward uploaded a message of support on Instagram for Pep Guardiola’s City side prior to kick-off, but at full-time it was United who were his intended target.
The Italian posted a picture of himself watching the match in the 99th minute, alongside the caption: “Manchester Utd fans.. LOL”.
