A group of broadcasters have attracted attention in recent weeks at the Club World Cup.
They include Loris Karius' wife Dilette Leotta, Giusy Meloni, Marialuisa Jacobelli, and Eleonora Incardoni, whom Maceri named specifically.
The criticism comes after Maceri published her new book - "F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism".
In the book she writes: "Personally, I would say that the way female reporters present themselves on the sidelines in Italy is sometimes borderline.
"I think women should be sexy, but always with style and class. That's sometimes lacking in Italy. Here, the principle that sex sells applies strongly."
Maceri, 31, then doubled down in an interview with Bild, slamming Incardoni for "vulgarity".
She told the German outlet: "If you want to speak on an equal level with players and officials, it's not conducive.
"Incardona mainly deals with DAZN BET – meaning she presents the betting odds. And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly."
Incardoni has stunned in America with her outfit choices.
The 34-year-old wore a bra and three-piece suit for one match, and wowed over the weekend in a one-strap brown dress.

Anthony Elanga sends message to Alexander Isak over Liverpool transfer
Anthony Elanga says he and the rest of Newcastle's squad are desperate to continue playing with 'one of the best strikers in the world' Alexander Isak next season. Isak's future has been the subject of intense speculation in recent months and widespread reports on Tuesday claimed Liverpool had opened fresh talks to prise the 25-year-old away from St James' Park. The Premier League champions have long held an interest in Isak and would be prepared to spend in the region of £120million to secure the Swede's services this summer. The proposed move would see Isak follow Florian Wirtz, Jeremie Frimpong, Milos Kerkez and Armin Pecsi through the doors at Anfield, with the Reds putting together a formidable squad ahead of their title defence. However, Newcastle bosses have no intention of selling Isak. Eddie Howe's men are preparing for another season of Champions League football following a fifth-placed finish last term and the attacker is considered an untouchable asset unless an astronomical offer arrives. Wake up to find news on your club in your inbox every morning with Metro's Football Newsletter. Sign up to our newsletter and then select your team in the link we'll send you so we can get football news tailored to you. Liverpool are eyeing Hugo Ekitike as an alternative up front should they fail in pursuit of Isak and the Eintracht Frankfurt forward is said to have agreed personal terms with the Merseyside giants. The incessant rumours have threatened to overshadow Elanga's arrival in the North East and it remains to be seen if the former Nottingham Forest winger will have the chance to link up with his fellow countryman next season. But speaking to Sky Sports, Elanga made it clear he planned to ignore the gossip and was instead looking forward to strengthening the 'amazing' bond he had formed with Isak at international level. 'If you you look at this team and what they did last season, it played a huge part in me coming,' he said. 'You look at the likes of Tino [Livramento], Lewis [Hall], Sven [Botman], Fabian [Schar], Bruno [Guimaraes], Sandro [Tonali], I could go through the whole team. What they did last season was amazing, having played against them home and away from Nottingham Forest. 'A player like Alex… everyone wants to play with Alex. For me, he's one of the best strikers in the world and having played with him at international level, I can really, really say that. 'There are always going to be things and rumours around the world, but, for me, he's a top guy and a top player. 'From playing with him at international level and training with him now, it's amazing.' Elanga is grateful for the support he has received since joining Newcastle and is relishing the opportunity to showcase his ability and talent when the new season gets underway. 'I know a lot of the lads here and I think that's played a part in me coming here,' the Sweden international added. 'Not just that, but I've talked about the gaffer and I think he's helped a lot in this instance. 'The club is a big club with a big fanbase so all of that has played a massive role in me coming here.' He added: 'I just want to showcase my abilities, showcase my talent, show that to all the Geordies and have an amazing season. 'When you know the lads it helps you settle even quicker. 'I've only been here for a week but it feels like I've been here for years because the lads and staff have made me feel so welcome.' For more stories like this, check our sport page.

Manchester United make improved bid worth up to £70million for Bryan Mbeumo
The 25-year-old has been a key target for Ruben Amorim's Red Devils, who made a first approach of £45m plus £10m in potential add-ons six weeks ago. United followed that up with an improved proposal exceeding £60m a few weeks later but talks stalled as Brentford held on for a greater fee for Mbeumo. The Old Trafford club have now made a new offer that PA understands to be worth £65m plus an additional £5m in potential add-ons as they attempt to sign the player before their pre-season tour. Amorim's men head to the United States on Tuesday and have so far only signed Brazil international Matheus Cunha from Wolves for a fee of £62.5m. Mbeumo joined Brentford from Troyes in 2019 and has a year left on his deal, albeit there is an option to extend by a further year. A post shared by Manchester United (@manchesterunited) United are looking to rebuild after slumping home 15th last season and losing the Europa League final to Tottenham, meaning they missed out on Champions League qualification and European football entirely. Marcus Rashford, Jadon Sancho, Alejandro Garnacho, Antony and Tyrell Malacia are searching for new homes. Christian Eriksen and Victor Lindelof have left on free transfers, while Jonny Evans has retired.

David Graham: Why Linfield's defeat to Shelbourne in the Champions League was ‘inevitable'. . . change is required
I had the privilege of watching Linfield play both home and away against Shelbourne FC, either side of the border and either side of the traditional 12th holiday in Northern Ireland. To have my two young boys with me at the away game was a great memory, regardless of the result. For the second leg at Windsor, my older boy performed his duties as a ball boy, whilst my younger son joined his Linfield Academy teammates in The Kop. I know that the future Linfield players thrived on the atmosphere generated by 'Blue Unity', criticised by many who fail to see the benefit that this group creates for future generations whilst loved by those who want to turn Windsor Park into a fortress. As I left Windsor Park, my heart filled with pride at a performance filled with courage, determination and desire. Nevertheless, even in the midst of the emotion of defeat, I knew that this feeling was in many ways…. inevitable. The game, as a contest, across two legs, ended in a 2-1 defeat for Linfield, who represented NIFL and Northern Ireland football with great credit. In reality, it was always going to be an uphill struggle for Linfield, even with the obvious tactical nous of David Healy, and a team driven by the experience and fire of Jamie Mulgrew and Kirk Miller. These are points that will be overlooked now, but I imagine, will be recognised with the passing of time. Shelbourne, as they approached the second leg, had played 25 competitive domestic games, having only won eight. Crucially, this made them fitter, technically more comfortable on the ball and crucially, sharper at the most crucial moments. Why was it inevitable? Why was it an uphill struggle? In reality, no one can fully answer the questions above. The differences in seasonal calendar ensure that more questions are raised, than actual answers. Why does this matter? Well, it matters more than anyone in Northern Irish football wants to admit. In short, if an Irish league club wins the first round of the Champions league, you are guaranteed a play-off for the Conference League which is worth around £3m. For a team like Linfield, with a fanbase comparable to any Scottish league club outwith Glasgow or Edinburgh, that is generational change. For those who understand the inner machinations of Linfield, that change is well overdue. Ironically, that is a change which may cause consternation within the bloated boardroom of BT12 or other old boys clubs who've been unnerved by the likes of new Irish League owners, Kenny Bruce and Henry Ross. I am on record saying that I believe an Irish league club needs to invest approximately £1.5m into their First Team infrastructure to give them a realistic chance of winning the Gibson Cup. Of course, I can be proven wrong. My good friends, Stuart Dallas and Jarlath Faloon will underline the times Crusaders and Dungannon Swifts won trophies, well beyond their expectations. But, let's cut to the chase… We need Irish League clubs vying for Uefa group stage football every year. It makes sense for the game we all cherish across our province, and even setting aside club loyalty, the benefit to our game is unchallengeable. The solidarity payments for Uefa are something that I believe need to be explained and highlighted in much greater detail. I am happy to go on the BelTel Football podcast and discuss this, at anytime. I recall my predecessor at Linfield, Pat Fenlon, who talked to me at length about the infamous 'RFS game' in 2022. He said to me that everyone will always talk about the final few moments, where Linfield looked destined for group stage qualification in 2022, but ended up losing on penalties. Pat underlined the moment that the fixture turned, not in Windsor, but a week prior. Linfield were 2-0 up after 70 minutes, but conceded in the 88th and 96th minute. Pat, and I agree with his stance, maintained that the game changed because Linfield were essentially in pre-season whilst RFS were firing on all cylinders due to their seasonal difference. Let's not sit on the fence any longer. Northern Ireland punches well beyond its weight in world footballing terms. Nevertheless, it struggles at European level. Is it simply the mindset of club committees/boards? If that was the case, why have Larne qualified for Europe and achieved a great result against Auda? Is it a strategic failure to recognise that, with ambition and desire, NIFL clubs can confidentially plant the Northern Ireland flag in Europe? We can discuss the exact start and end dates, but the outcome must stop an opposition flag being planted on the turf of a NIFL stadium, four weeks before the domestic season is due to start.
