Manganiello Under Fire For Two Serious Refereeing Errors In Inter Milan 1-0 Hellas Verona Serie A Clash
Referee Gianluca Manganiello is under fire for two major errors in yesterday's Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Hellas Verona.
Today's print edition of Milan-based newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport, via FCInterNews, note the first half penalty as well as a blatant second yellow card missed from the experienced official.

Referee Gianluca Manganiello was the referee for yesterday's Serie A clash between Inter Milan and Hellas Verona.
It was not exactly an ill-tempered affair. The two sets of players never really boiled over as the tempo of the match remained quite low.
Therefore, it was not a particularly difficult match for Manganiello to officiate.
Nevertheless, there were a few key incidents for the referee to deal with.
And the view of the Gazzetta, Manganiello got it badly wrong in the two biggest ones.

Firstly, the Gazzetta notes, there was Inter's first half penalty.

It was an absolutely stonewall decision, as Verona defender Nicolas Valentini blatantly handled the ball inside the penalty area with an outstretched arm.
However, referee Gianluca Manganiello did not initially spot the infringement.
VAR did intervene, having Manganiello have another look at the incident on the monitor.
And as soon as the referee noticed the contact, he didn't need a second look. He pointed to the spot.
That proved to be the decisive penalty in the match, as Kristjan Asllani's spot kick was enough for the win for Inter.
In the view of the Gazzetta, it was a very bad sign that Manganiello didn't spot such a blatant handball in real time, though.

Manwhile, the newspaper also note that Verona midfielder Ondrej Duda clearly should have seen red.
Duda went into the book for a challenge on Joaquin Correa.
Then, the Slovakian made what appeared to be a fairly blatant foul on Davide Frattesi to stop a counterattack.
It should have been an easy decision to book Duda for the professional foul. However, Manganiello waved the advantage on and then seemingly forgot to book Duda.
Verona coach Paolo Zanetti evidently recognized the situation. He immediately removed Duda after that foul.

Okeeheelee Park's $400,000 pump track for cyclists, skateboarders and scooters now open
Palm Beach County's first bicycle pump track is open for business. The pump track, a circuit of rollers and banked turns designed for bicycles, foot scooters and skateboards, is already seeing heavy use. Users generate momentum by 'pumping' or by up-and-down body movements. There is no need to pedal. The track opened on May 31 at Okeeheelee Park, on Forest Hill Boulevard near Greenacres, with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and exhibition rides from both professional and amateur riders. The 10,000-square-foot facility offers a continuous-loop riding experience for people of all ages and skill levels. It can accommodate wheelchairs. Motorized vehicles are not permitted. The two-year-in-the-making track was made possible by a $400,000 donation from Margaret Blume and Palm Beach Pump Track, the nonprofit that oversaw its construction. The county Parks Department now operates it. Velosolutions, the Swiss-based company that built the track, defines a pump track as a 'High Performance Playground for Everything with Wheels.' The asphalt-surface pump track, open from sunrise to sunset, lies behind the dog park at Okeeheelee Park. Four things to know for those who plan to visit: Helmets are required, and safety equipment is highly recommended. The track is not wide enough for more than one participant at a time. Pets and personal belongings are prohibited on the track surface. Users should ride within their own ability. The track is unsupervised. Signage warns riders to ride at their own risk. The county expects the facility to be a major draw as the closest pump track is in Haulover Beach in Miami-Dade County. 'We are thrilled with the amount of usage thus far,' said Jennifer Kraatz, president of Palm Beach Pump Track. 'The word has gotten out.' More: Okeeheelee Park may be getting another amenity: a playground for everything with wheels Kraatz said the pump track has been designed to host qualifying tournament events that could be held in conjunction with the Palm Beach County Sports Commission. That is not expected to occur until next year, but Kraatz said that she expects communitywide tournaments to be held before then. Her nonprofit already operates the BMX track at Okeeheelee Park. Unlike the pump track, that course features a track that requires pedaling and has separated start-and-finish lines. Bicyclists mostly use it.

Inter Milan Proclaims ‘We're Proud' To Make Cristian Chivu Coach – Adds ‘Our Goals Are The Same As Ever'
Inter Milan Proclaims 'We're Proud' To Make Cristian Chivu Coach – Adds 'Our Goals Are The Same As Ever' Beppe Marotta says Inter Milan are 'proud' to name Cristian Chivu as coach, and that his arrival doesn't change the Nerazzurri's goals. Speaking to reporters, via FCInterNews, the Inter President gave his thoughts after the Romanian was officially appointed as the club's new coach. Advertisement Inter Milan have officially confirmed the appointment of Cristian Chivu as their new coach. The Nerazzurri had already decided upon the 44-year-old to replace Simone Inzaghi a few days ago. On Thursday, Inter chose Chivu, concluding a search of a couple days. This search had seen them try for Cesc Fabregas, and also reportedly consider Patrick Vieira. However, in the end, Inter went with Treble-winning former defender Chivu. They called the Romanian, and he agreed to step up. Marotta: 'Inter Proud To Name Cristian Chivu New Coach, Our Goals The Same As Ever' ROME, ITALY – APRIL 28: Cristian Chivu, Head Coach of Parma Calcio, looks on prior to the Serie A match between SS Lazio and Parma at Stadio Olimpico on April 28, 2025 in Rome, Italy. (Photo by) Inter Milan President Beppe Marotta gave his thoughts on Chivu's appointment. Advertisement 'We're proud of having linked such an historic name for Inter to the role of coach,' he said. Chivu spent six years as a Nerazzurri player before hanging up his boots. Chivu won the European Treble of the Serie A title, the Champions League, and the Coppa Italia with Inter in the 2009-10 season. Marotta continued that 'I believe modern football clubs must cultivate this connection.' 'Because within this character, there are a lot of positive values.' The Inter President insisted the club are 'satisfied and happy' with their choice to appoint Chivu. And as far as Inter's objectives next season as ever, Marotta said they're 'the same ones as ever.' Advertisement 'The history of Inter says this is the case. Inter participate in competitions to win. Then if someone's better than us, as happened last season, we'll take our hats off to them.' 'However, we have to remember that reaching the top isn't easy,' Marotta stressed. 'Not everyone has reached that far in recent years.'

Milan wins Dauphine stage two to take over yellow jersey
Jonathan Milan has won four Grand Tour stages - all at the Giro d'Italia in the past two years [Getty Images] Jonathan Milan won stage two of the Criterium du Dauphine with a sprint finish in Issoire. Lidl-Trek's lead-out train hit the front during the final kilometre of the 204.6km ride from Premilhat, and they left Milan alone with 150m remaining.

But the Italian held on to clinch his first road race win in France, with British rider Fred Wright edging out Van der Poel for second. Milan also claimed the yellow jersey from reigning Tour de France and Giro d'Italia champion Tadej Pogacar, who won the opening stage on Sunday. "It was really tough," said Milan, 24. "Yesterday and today, I suffered a lot. "At one point I was really on the limit, but I have to say thanks to my team-mates because they brought me back. Advertisement "We knew we had to take the last corner at the front, and it was just a perfect lead-out. I'm really happy because this means a lot to all of us." Local rider Romain Bardet, who is competing in his last professional race, attacked on the final categorised climb of the day and built a 20-second lead. But Bardet did not get any support in the breakaway so the peloton soon closed the gap, with Lidl Trek putting Milan in a prime position during the finish.
