The Nerazzurri manager has played down his post-match meeting on the touchline with a Torino counterpart following a 1-0 victory for his side
Luciano Spalletti insisted Walter Mazzarri had no reason to be afraid after their bizarre handshake following Torino's 1-0 Serie A victory over Inter on Sunday.
Spalletti's intense smile bordered on a grimace as he met Mazzarri with an almost aggressive handshake, captured by television cameras, as his opposite number appeared keen to end the exchange as quickly as possible.
