“You think I’m scared of you? Go f*** yourself!” Bastia boss in foul-mouthed rant at Balotelli after Nice draw

Bastia boss Francois Ciccolini unleashed a foul-mouthed rant at Mario Balotelli on Friday following Nice’s 1-1 away draw at the Stade Armand Cesar, reports the Mirror.

The incident occurred in the players’ tunnel as footballers and staff from both teams exited the pitch.

Although the details surrounding why the argument started are hazy, there is no reason to suspect that it is in anyway related to Balotelli’s racial abuse claims.

The Italian international claimed he was the subject of monkey chants from section of the Bastia crowd during the game.

Yesterday the result against Bastia was right.. we will work more and try to get our objective.. the referee was good too👍🏾 but I have a question for French people.. Is it normal that Bastia supporters make monkey noise end "uh uh" for the whole game and no one of the "commissions discipline " say nothing? So is racism LEGAL in France? Or only in Bastia ? Football is an amazing sport .. those people like Bastia supporters make it horrible ! VERGOGNA DAVVERO. UNE VRAIE HONTE .

However, at full-time, Balotelli can be seen saying something to Ciccolini which really ticks him off.

The Bastia boss then replies: “Shut the f*** up. You respect nothing. Do you think I am scared of you?

“You think I’m scared of you? Go f*** yourself – where do you think you are?”
