Police launch probe after Bodo coach attacks Roma staff

Milan: AS Roma captain Lorenzo Pellegrini said that Bodo/Glimt coach Kjetil Knutsen attacked a member of his club's staff after the Italian side's 2-1 Europa Conference League defeat in Norway on Thursday.

After the quarter-final first-leg defeat, on the ground where Roma suffered an humiliating 6-1 loss in the group stages back in October, the teams clashed on the touchline following the final whistle.

"We came here with the utmost respect, respecting fair play," Pellegrini told Sky Sport Italia. "They behaved badly with us. Even their coach attacked our goalkeeper coach Nuno Santos. I think this is an insult to the competition. I think it is an insult also to Rome and to the Romans. I am honestly still shaken by what I just saw, it's absolutely shameful. Now we want to send Bodo home, also because of what happened off the field."
