Genoa president Enrico Preziosi has clashed with local journalists.

Preziosi was unrepentant yesterday after smashing a journalist's camera.

"I removed a camera that was position in an improper fashion," Preziosi told TGCom.

"I already apologised and said I'll pay for the camera. However, it's not right to ambush people. My reaction might be criticised, but the violence I suffered was worse.

"I will not accept someone filming me in secret and then ambushing me. In that context, I would indeed do it again."

Preziosi is under pressure over reports he plans to sell the club.
