MILAN (Reuters) - Italian match officials and delegates will be told to follow international guidelines in dealing with racist chanting and insults from the crowd, the head of the country's soccer federation (FIGC) said on Tuesday.

FIGC president Gabriele Gravina told the Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper that the FIGC would "simplify" the procedure for dealing with racist incidents following an outcry over the treatment of Napoli defender Kalidou Koulibaly.
