Gasperini calls Allegri touchline row ‘regrettable’ after Roma draw

Roma manager Gian Piero Gasperini has described the controversy involving Napoli head coach Massimiliano Allegri as “regrettable” after the sides drew 3-3 in the latest Serie A round.

Reports after the match claimed Allegri criticised Roma in the tunnel area, saying they had undeservedly secured qualification for the Champions League.

The Napoli manager was sent off late in the match following Leonardo Balerdi’s late equaliser, which completed the 3-3 scoreline.

Allegri subsequently received a two-match suspension.
