Soccer: Arezzo boss unrepentant after 'queers' jibe

(ANSA) - Arezzo, November 4 - The manager of third-tier Arezzo, Ezio Capuano, was unrepentant Tuesday after saying he would not stand having "queers" on the field after a defeat Sunday.
    "One of Italy's greatest coaches, Marcello Lippi, once said he didn't want to see any 'little women' flouncing around, and my comment was in the same vein," Capuano said.
    "In any case I apologised to my centre forward," he added.
    Capuano said after Sunday's home loss to Alessandria Sunday: "I want players with balls and I don't want to see any queers on the pitch".
    He added Monday: "I didn't mean to offend anyone but I'm not going to apologise.
    "I'm not homophobic, racist or sexist," Capuano said.
