Davis accuses Dossena: ‘This racist coward called me a monkey’

He posted an Instagram Stories tagging in Dossena and using a picture of the Cagliari player.

“This racist coward called me a monkey today during the game. I hope the Serie A association will do something about this but we will see.”

Cagliari coach Fabio Pisacane evidently knew the accusation was aimed at Dossena, because he told DAZN Italia that he had specifically asked his defender.

“I was far from the incident, but I asked my player, who told me he absolutely did not say any racist words. I believe the man, I believe Alberto, because I’ve known him for many years, and he could never do something like this.”

It remains to be seen if there was any video evidence or witnesses who can corroborate what Dossena said to Davis.

If he was found guilty of racist abuse, a player could face up to a 10-match Serie A ban.

Racist insults from the Cagliari fans at the Unipol Domus is unfortunately nothing new, as there were already ugly incidents with abuse aimed at then-Juventus striker Moise Kean and Milan defender Fikayo Tomori.
