Antonio Conte criticises Massimilano Allegri

Juventus boss Antonio Conte has slammed AC Milan manager Massimiliano Allegri following his call for an end to criticism of Serie A officials.

Conte, whose side imposed a media blackout following the club's draw at Genoa in protest of recent refereeing decisions, insists that Allegri himself is as much to blame for criticism of the league's officials as others.

"I read an interview with [Allegri] in which he asked for others to keep quiet," he said. "Yet he is the one who keeps on talking, while we have been in absolute silence."

"We will not be commenting on the referee [this weekend], whoever he is."

The Bianconeri are four points behind league leaders AC Milan.
