The Italian Football Federation announced on Monday that it will investigate a racist shout directed at Roma midfielder Victor Osimhen during the weekend's goalless draw with Napoli.

The FIGC said in a statement that a "racially motivated discriminatory chant" was directed towards Nigeria forward Osimhen, and that its disciplinary officials will conduct "additional investigations" to discover how many individuals screamed the vague abuse and for how long.

During the encounter at the Stadio Olimpico, Roma coach Jose Mourinho was sent off, and Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti was sacked after the final whistle for sarcastically complimenting referee Davide Massa.

In other matches, Gian Piero Gasperini of Atalanta and Inter Milan coach Simone Inzaghi were both given one-match suspensions after receiving red cards.
