Inzaghi takes swipe at coach

AC Milan striker Filippo Inzaghi has taken a swipe at Italy coach Roberto Donadoni after being left out of his squad for Euro 2008.
Inzaghi, 35, was a regular starter during the qualification campaign but failed to make Donadoni's provisional 24-man squad which was announced on Tuesday.
The veteran striker's 11-year international career with the Azzurri now appears effectively over.
"I am disappointed, particularly from a human point of view," said a disappointed Inzaghi.
"I started these last two years with a positive relationship, scoring the first official goal of his (Donadoni's) stewardship in Napoli against Lithuania.
"And then came the silence, despite my return for Milan, scoring 18 goals over the winter and in April and May.
"Obviously it has taken just my injury during the season for me to not even merit a phone call to cancel what I thought was a mature, adult relationship.
"I am sorry that I got it wrong and pass on my sincere wishes to the Azzurri for the coming European Championships."
