Furious Antonio Conte boots the ball away in disgust during Italy’s 2-0 victory

Furious!

Simon Lloyd

Holding on to a slender lead against the defending European champions, you’d expect the Italian bench to be a little tense.

With the Spanish taking a hold on things as the clock ticked away, the ball happened to roll in the direction of soon-to-be Chelsea boss Antonio Conte.

Already riled at several refereeing decisions and a couple of misplaced Italian passes, Conte left his technical area to smash the ball away in disgust as one of his players failed to control a pass.

We love the way he’s mid-rant as he wraps his right foot around it…

Viewers seemed to enjoy Conte’s passionate display.

On this evidence, they might want to extend the technical areas at Stamford Bridge in time for next season.

The Italians sewed things up in stoppage time when Graziano Pelle volleyed home a second goal. They’ll face Germany in the quarter finals and could potentially face England in a semi-final.
