The managers of Atalanta and Milan have condemned the actions of supporters who allegedly threw a banana at Rossoneri defender Kevin Constant during today's Serie A match in Bergamo.

Milan's France-born Guinea international was seen showing a banana to officials at the Stadio Atleti Azzurri d'Italia towards the end of a game the visiting side went on to lose 2-1.

The incident comes only weeks after Barcelona full-back Dani Alves picked up and ate a banana thrown at him by Villarreal supporters during April's Primera Division meeting at El Madrigal.

Villarreal were subsequently fined 12,000 euros by the Spanish Football Federation.

After full-time in Bergamo on Sunday, Atalanta boss Stefano Colantuono told the Gazzetta dello Sport: "Whoever threw the banana on the pitch deserves to have a coconut thrown back at them.

"They've ruined what was a great afternoon."

His Milan counterpart Clarence Seedorf added: "I hope they find the culprit and do what they have to do."

Constant, 26, walked off the pitch in response to alleged racist chanting during a pre-season friendly against fellow Serie A side Sassuolo in July.

And in January 2013, Kevin Prince-Boateng - now with Schalke - threw the ball into the crowd and walked off the pitch after fans of lower-league Pro Patria hurled racist abuse at him during a friendly match in Busto Arsizio.

The match was subsequently abandoned and six Pro Patria fans were convicted of racial abuse and imprisoned.
