Maurizo Sarri was unrepentant after he was spotted giving the middle finger to a group of Juventus fans.
"I replied to a group of people who were spitting at the bus and insulting us for being Neapolitan," said Sarri after Napoli kept the Serie A title race alive with a 1-0 win over Juventus in Turin.
"I would never make a gesture like that towards anyone for being a Juventus fan.
"The vast majority of Juventus fans are wonderful people and there was one in our hotel who we had a good laugh and joke with.
"I have no issue with Juventus fans. It was only with those who spat at us and insulted us for being Neapolitan."
"We made our extraordinary fans happy, but Juventus remain ahead and therefore almost nothing has changed. We still have a very slim chance of overtaking them."
