WHAT HAPPENED?
During Napoli's 2-1 friendly win over Olympiacos on Thursday, Conte had to be restrained after taking exception to Ayoub El Kaabi's late challenge on Amir Rrahmani. Following another bad foul, Conte snapped, and a melee ensued as the incensed former Chelsea manager laid into the striker and the officials for not stamping this out of the contest.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
While Napoli got the win, Conte may be concerned by Romelu Lukaku limping off the pitch after suffering an injury. The former Inter man was clutching the back of his left thigh, and reports suggest the striker may miss his side's Serie A opener next weekend.
WHAT NEXT?
Conte, who appears to have not lost any of his fire and passion going by this incident, will hope his Napoli side can start the new season with a bang when the Serie A defending champions take on Sassuolo on August 23.
