Inter Milan’s head coach is not one you would want to provoke but Sevilla’s Ever Banega did the unthinkable in the Europa League final in Koln.
The former Chelsea boss is noted for his animated theatrics and looked seemingly annoyed by the referee in the first half when his side was refused a second penalty and was booked for his show.
It was then that Banega was captured saying something to the Italian which started the heated altercation and the subsequent threat to fight him after the game.
In the course of the game, Banega mocked Conte’s hair during a heated argument between the duo on the touchline – according to several Italian media outlets.
