Former Napoli and Juventus stars Lorenzo Insigne and Federico Bernadeschi conspired together with other players in a bid get former Swansea City manager Bob Bradley sacked by Toronto FC, according to reports.
The Major League Soccer club is a mess on and off the field, losing four of their past six games with a fractured dressing room that includes Insigne and Bernadeschi – the team's top earners.
In the wake of Saturday's last-gasp defeat to Austin FC, a group of veteran players led by the Italian duo joined up on a conference call on a day off in an attempt to get head coach and sporting director Bradley – manager of the United States men's national team from 2006-11 – fired, according to The Athletic.
