Juventus coach Antonio Conte has voiced his frustration with the decision to cancel Tuesday’s Serie A encounter with Parma.
The league match was called off due to extreme weather conditions at the Stadio Ennio Tardini.
But Conte, 42, feels the heavy snowfall that caused the abandonment should have been anticipated, and said the game could have gone ahead as planned had it been moved to the afternoon.
“There’s 10 centimetres of snow, but we could already have known that the weather would be like this about three days ago thanks to the modern instruments,” Conte was quoted as saying by Il Corriere dello Sport.
“Something should have been done. The match could have gone ahead if it had been moved to three in the afternoon.”
Conte’s men are top of Serie A on goal difference, but will relinquish their lead should Scudetto holders AC Milan avoid defeat against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico on Wednesday.
The clash between Parma and Juventus has yet to be rescheduled.
