Oman manager Claude Le Roy has launched a scathing post-match attack on Australian team manager Gary Moretti following the 1-0 loss to Australia. Le Roy opened his press conference by hitting out at Moretti, claiming to have been insulted by the long-standing team manager.

"Before I begin I want to make a statement on the behaviour at half time of the team manager of the Australian team because in thirty years as a coach I have never received insults from anybody, but the behaviour of this man at half time is not of the quality of this country, of this team or of this staff," Le Roy said.

"Gary Moretti, I don't know where is from?" Le Roy continued before commenting on the actual match.

It is yet unknown what triggered Le Roy's comments.
