Default Kalidou Koulibaly

Napoli star Kalidou Koulibaly at centre of racism storm rocking Italian football after abusive chants at San Siro... and it could push him to move to England

* Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly subjected to racial abuse during the game
* Inter Milan are set to play their next two home games behind closed doors
* Napoli defender is one of Europe's most talented and sought after centre-backs


Kalidou Koulibaly, the powerhouse Napoli central defender pursued by Manchester United and Chelsea, is at the centre of a racism storm that has rocked Italian football and threatens to push the player closer to the Premier League.

Koulibaly alleged that he endured racial abuse and monkey chants during Napoli’s 1-0 defeat at Inter Milan on Boxing Day.

Koulibaly and his manager Carlo Ancelotti were furious after persistent racist chanting. The 27-year-old central defender, a nominee for African Player of the Year and one of Europe’s finest centre backs, was sent off late in the game, shown a second yellow card when he sarcastically applauded a decision by the referee.

Former Chelsea boss Ancelotti claimed he asked for the game to be stopped and, despite announcements urging supporters to behave, the monkey chants are said to have persisted.

It follows hot on the heels of the alleged racist abuse suffered by Raheem Sterling during Manchester City’s defeat at Chelsea earlier this month, which triggered a police investigation.

Ancelotti said: ‘It’s a shame because twice we asked for the match to be suspended for the racist chanting towards Koulibaly. It shook him. He’s a good-mannered player and he was bombarded by the stadium.

‘Despite our requests and the chanting, the game wasn’t suspended. I think it should have been. Next time we’ll stop playing ourselves.

‘It was impossible for him to be calm. He cares a lot about the issue of racism and he commits a lot of time to the matter, including in society. What happened is unacceptable — not just for us but for Italian football as a whole.’


Inter Milan will play two games behind closed doors following racist abuse of Kalidou Koulibaly. Senegal international defender Koulibaly was subjected to racial abuse during the game

This is not the first time the 6ft 5in centre half has endured racism in Italy. He was racially abused at Lazio’s Stadio Olimpico in 2016. The chants started every time Koulibaly touched the ball and the match was stopped for three minutes. Napoli fans brought a banner to the club’s training ground in the following days that read: ‘Honour your colour, Koulibaly.’

Racism continues to undermine Italian football. Former Manchester City forward Mario Balotelli was aghast this year when, as a contender for the vice-captaincy role for the national team, fans unfurled a banner that insisted Italy captains should have ‘Italian blood.’

Chelsea defender Antonio Rudiger has previously accused the Italian authorities of being unwilling to take steps to fix the problem and pleaded for FIFA to take the lead.

In 2013, Manchester United’s Paul Pogba and West Ham’s Angelo Ogbonna suffered racist abuse while playing for Juventus against Lazio. Pogba said: ‘We heard it. They’re ignorant. What can I do? I’m alone against 30,000 fans. They do that even though there are black guys in their team.’

Koulibaly posted on Twitter after Wednesday’s game: ‘I’m sorry about the defeat and especially to have let my brothers down. But I’m proud of the colour of my skin. To be French, Senegalese, Neapolitan and a man.’

Koulibaly’s agent is understood to have held talks with Napoli at a hotel earlier this month. It remains to be seen whether this latest episode will lead Koulibaly to seek a career outside Italy. Maurizio Sarri is keen to be reunited with the defender at Chelsea, while Jose Mourinho wanted to sign him for Manchester United. Napoli would demand a transfer fee over £70million.

On a dreadful evening in Milan, an Inter supporter was killed following violence between supporters. The 35-year-old was reported to have been struck by a van. Four Napoli supporters were injured and one was stabbed. Rival fans were said to have been armed with chains and hammers during pre-match scuffles.

Serie A took action on Thursday by ordering Inter to play their next two home games behind closed doors. A third game will see their crowd partially reduced.

The Italian football federation briefly considered suspending Serie A football entirely this weekend before president Gabriele Gravina said: ‘Saturday will be played, there will be regular matches. The championship will not stop. We do not stop against those who want to contaminate our world.’

The mayor of Milan, Giuseppe Sala, apologised to Koulibaly on his Facebook page, calling the abuse ‘a shameful act against a respected athlete’.
