Angelo Ogbonna's joke backfires

On Tuesday, Ogbonna joked on Twitter about his next rumoured manager, Antonio Conte (Chelsea). 

The tweet was of him next to a typical British red phone box with the caption 'Who knows if Mr Conte has my English number??!!'.

However, his joke backfired when his fellow Italian footballers did not understand it and branded his as disrespectful.

He even had to explain the joke to the Italian press.
