Video: Juventus directors insulted after Inter Milan’s winner

Top Juventus officials had to be escorted out of the stands as Inter fans took their celebrations too far after Piotr Zielinski’s winner.

The Derby d’Italia turned out to be a fiery affair, and it all stemmed from a costly refereeing mistake towards the end of the first half.

While the result was still 1-1, Federico La Penna showed Pierre Kalulu a second yellow for blocking Alessandro Bastoni’s run.

However, the replays proved that the French defender hardly touched his Italian counterpart. Former Serie A referee Luca Marelli argued that VAR should have intervened to send off Bastoni for a simulation, as he was already on a yellow.

Inter supporters insult Juventus officials

This episode was followed by a heated confrontation in the tunnelbetween La Penna, on one hand, and Luciano Spalletti and the Juventus officials on the other.

However, this wasn’t the end of the ugly rows in this chaotic showdown, as a circulating video on social media shows Juventus CEO Damien Comolli and the club’s Technical Director Francois Modesto receiving insults from the Inter supporters who surrounded them in the stands following Zielinski’s last-gasp goal.

The French officials had to be escorted out of their seats before the end of the match to avoid unwanted incidents, especially with tensions flaring.

Comolli & Modesto were forced to leave the stands early

This certainly isn’t the first time that top Juventus or Inter officials are involved in heated affairs. In 2021, former Juventus president Andrea Agnelli exchanged insults with Antonio Conte, who was coaching the Nerazzurri at the time.

However, one might wonder how Comolli and Modesto found themselves surrounded by a bunch of raucous Inter supporters in the first place.

If the current San Siro facility doesn’t provide visiting officials a genuine director’s box, the hosts must at least make sure that the fans around remain cordial to ensure their safety and avoid such unsavoury scenes.

Trace Carroll, close friend of ASU's Dillingham, takes over as Chaparral football coach

-
Trace Carroll, who was teammates and best friends with Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham in high school, is returning to Scottsdale Chaparral to lead the football program. Carroll played for two of the greatest high school coaches in Arizona history, Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle. He played at the tail end of Estabrook's career and the start of Ragle's tenure at the school. He was an offensive lineman, next to future NFL tackle Taylor Lewan, on the 2008 team that reached the state final, before losing to Scottsdale Saguaro. The quarterback of that team, Spencer Stone, is actress Emma Stone's brother. "As a proud alumni and as a former football player at Chaparral for Ron Estabrook and Charlie Ragle, I look forward to continuing the program’s great success," Carroll said. Carroll, like Dillingham, got into coaching almost immediately after graduating from high school, helping Ragle out at Chaparral. He spent the past six years as a quarterbacks coach at P...

Tanner Bibee emerged a central piece to the Guardians’ future last season. He’ll now remain in Cleveland until at least 2029. The Guardians signed the right-hander to a five-year contract extension through the 2029 season that includes a club option for 2030, the club announced Saturday afternoon. Bibee was set to become a free agent after the 2028 season. This extension eats up one and potentially two years of his free agent eligibility. For Bibee, it allows him to receive his first major payday without further injury risk. For the Guardians, it allows them to retain him for an extra season or two by giving him some early financial guarantees. Last year, Bibee took over as the club’s No. 1 starter after Shane Bieber needed Tommy John surgery , Gavin Williams missed most of the season with his own injury issues and Triston McKenzie lost his command to the point of needing to be sent to Triple-A Columbus. Bibee was recently named as the club’s Opening Day starter . This article...
