Parma signing Antonio Nocerino has taken aim at Genoa coach Giampiero Ventura.
The Ducali have taken over Nocerino's loan of the AC Milan midfielder.
"I thank Torino for these six months, but I was referring solely to the Coach when I complained," said Nocerino in today's Press conference.
"Ventura treated me like an idiot. I was educated to give respect and never had problems with Coaches before.
"Ventura told me a load of rubbish, as if I was 15 years old. I have over 400 games under my belt in professional football, so that irritated me.
"I am 30 years old and do not like being taken for a fool. He played defenders in midfield and I said nothing, but he told me too many lies. 'You are important,' he said, but then I never played.
"He told me all sorts of things, that after the Roma game my season would begin. Yet I was never picked, it was all lies.
"Torino gave me an opportunity, but this is football. I am not happy to be judged without playing. I'm not an idiot."
