Catania boss Zenga in furious blow-up with reporter

Catania boss Walter Zenga clashed angrily with a reporter after their 3-2 victory over Torino.

Zenga was still bristling over criticism from TV host Enrico Varriale last week after he skipped a media conference.

And last night he began: "I would have preferred you not talk behind my back about my private life and past as a Coach.

"You were a great goalkeeper who made few mistakes, but this comment was a mistake, much like the one you made against Argentina that cost us the 1990 World Cup," replied Varriale.

It descended into a shouting match and when Varriale asked Zenga to be careful what he said, the Coach turned to sarcasm.

"Wow, I am so scared, I'm quaking in my boots," continued Zenga. "I came here just to tell you that - you showed a lack of respect and are out of control."

Varriale repeatedly suggested discussing the game, but Zenga only noted: "I won't talk to you."
