Italian FA to investigate Gattuso
Veteran AC Milan midfielder Gennaro Gattuso is to be investigated by the Italian football Federation after taking part with fans in chants against the club's former coach Leonardo.
The Brazilian has been branded a traitor by Milan fans for joining arch rivals Inter Milan in December, having ended a 13-year association with Milan in May.
And Gattuso joined in with fans singing "Leonardo is a piece of shit" following their 0-0 draw at Roma on Saturday night that secured an 18th league title.
Inter president Massimo Moratti revealed that Leonardo had taken the news badly, while the coach himself released a statement on the club website.
"I would like to know AC Milan's official position on what has happened," he said.
Asked about the incident, Milan vice-president said it was being blown out of proportion.
"About Gattuso's alleged offensive behaviour towards Leonardo, let's not dramatise it," he said.
"Let's not forget that at the end of the day, footballers are kids.”
