Former Inter Milan president Massimo Moratti has praised Roberto Mancini for speaking out over his clash with Napoli coach Maurizio Sarri.

Mancini accused Sarri this week of using homophobic slurs.

“Mancini has shown civility and courage," Moratti told Mediaset.

“He's courageous, and he's shown that on many other occasions. It wasn't telling tales, it happened in front of everyone, so it was out there as soon as it happened.

“Mancini did very well, he was offended on behalf of others, he's a civilised person."
