Arezzo coach Antonio Conte has slammed former club Juventus after they dropped out of Serie B yesterday.
The Tuscans needed to beat Treviso and hope that Spezia did not become the first team in the history of Serie B to win in Turin if they were to avoid the drop.
However, a 3-2 result at the Stadio Olimpico saw Spezia and Verona enter the play-outs, sending Arezzo straight down to Serie C1.
Since securing the top spot in Serie B, the Turin giants have lost both their matches under caretaker tactician Giancarlo Corradini.
"It is painful to be relegated this way, but it helps me to understand things I already knew," added former midfielder Conte.
"In sport there is so much talk and everyone made it seem as if the rot had been removed to clean up the game. If this is clean football "
Spezia's 3-2 win in Turin was only snatched in the final minute when Padoin took advantage of an error from Jean-Alain Boumsong.
"When someone is very disappointed, he can say things that he will probably regret later," replied Juventus general manager Jean Claude Blanc.
"I think that whoever saw this match can have no doubts. If we have to give football a different image, then before making statements like that people should think long and hard."
