Tense moment Conte loses it on the touchline and has to be restrained by referee

Napoli manager Antonio Conte had to be stopped on Thursday during his friendly friendship against Olympiacos after he was furious with a rough challenge.

Conte was far from impressed by the late tackle of Ayoub El Kaabi on Amir Rrahmani who was just a few feet away from him.

The Napoli defender remained winding in pain on the field that his boss immediately shot from his technical area.

Conte marched directly to El Kaabi to let him know what he thought of the challenge when the referee released a yellow card.

A Melee broke out when the Italian continued to protest with the Moroccan attacker and the referee, security and coaching staff to stop him.

It took some time before things settled and eventually the Serie A-side achieved a 2-1 win in their last meeting for the season.

Conte comes from the back of a glorious debut season that is in charge of GLI Azzurri.

The former boss of Tottenham and Chelsea helped with the success of the league title after a dramatic last day of the season.

His side saw Cagliari with 2-0 with goals from Scott McTominay and Romelu Lukaku on the last day to dismiss Inter Milan on one point.

The fourth title of Napoli once – and their second in three years – led to wild parties in the streets of the South -Italian city such as smoke bombs, fireworks and passionate songs filled the sky.

In the summer there were some doubts about Conte's future in the club, but they can be rested.

The defensive champions compete against Sassuolo in their season opener on August 23.

The club will sweat over the fitness of Spits Lukaku after he base the field of the field on Thursday with an apparent dijing injury.

Conte tried to temper the expectations for the coming season after the game, and emphasized the number of changes in the team.

“All teams that many new players have brought in will be a work in progress at this stage,” said Conte.

'I am happy with the efforts that the boys have made, I received positive reactions, both from the old group and the six new boys, but it is inevitable that it will take time to get them in the mechanisms and tactical ideas.

'Balance is essential for all teams. When I say that we are a work in progress, I also mean that we try different solutions. We also did it during last season, a coach must look for alternatives, even if we work hard on the 4-3-3 formation. Balance is the key to everything. '

'It is true that we won the title, which was extraordinary and incredible, but now we have to take the second step before we can think of taking the third. During my original press conference I said I would like to find some stability. Now we try to complete a team that was unable to be competitive about different tournaments. '
