Maresca on Maignan: «I acted as a brother, then I assured the players that we would have protected him»

He repeated 'negro di m...' 12 times. He is the first of the people identified by the State Police to have offended Mike Maigna. He is a 46-year-old man from the province of Udine, already known to the police, and against whom the police chief Alfredo D'Agostino has issued a 5-year Daspo. He was reported in a state of freedom.

Udinese decided to ban the fan from the stadium for life with immediate effect and announced it through an official note: «Udinese Calcio announces, following the identification of the first person responsible for the deplorable racist insults to Maignan, that the individual in question will be, indefinitely, banned from our stadium with immediate effect. The company confirms its commitment against racism and considers it essential to apply strong measures to send a concrete message against discrimination, not only in football, but in society. The Club promptly, already from Saturday evening, worked closely with the Authorities providing all its cameras and the cutting-edge equipment of the Bluenergy Stadium in order to give a quick feedback to the investigations still in progress. Udinese thanks the Udine Police Headquarters for the collaboration and confirms its firmness in hitting those responsible for the insults that tarnish the sports ethics of the club, the Region, the city of Udine and a fan base that, as always, are a model of integration and respect».
