Danille De Rossi could well be in hot water – though, probably not given this is the Italian FA we are talking about – after having some less than charming words for Juventus striker Mario Mandzukic.
De Rossi, the AS Roma midfielder who always looks like he’s teetering on the verge a full blown fit of uncontrollable rage, allegedly told Manzukic to “Shut up you gypsy sh*t!” after his side slipped to a 1-0 defeat to Juve following a lovely goal from Paulo Dybala.
In the clip below, De Rossi appears to be saying “Sta muto zingaro di merda” which translates to “Shut up you gypsy sh*t.”
Watch the video, and if your Italian lip reading is up to scratch then you should be able to decipher if De Rossi is being a racist arse.
