INTER Milan defender Marco Materazzi, headbutted by France's Zinedine Zidane in the World Cup final, was accused of provocation by Messina president Pietro Franza overnight.

Franza referred to incidents concerning Materazzi giving a light headbutt to Messina defender Marc Zoro and then squaring up to coach Bruno Giordano during Inter's 2-0 win at the weekend.

"Materazzi has been, as usual, very provocative," said Franza said.

"We have already seen what happened at the World Cup with Zidane. I don't want to put what happened here on the same scale but he really provokes people."

Zidane was dismissed for the headbutt in the second period of extra-time during the July 9 World Cup final.
