Malta National Team Coach Michele Marcolini Relieved Of Duties
Sep 14 2024 Share

Malta national football team coach Michele Marcolini has been dismissed from his role, as announced by the Malta Football Association (MFA) on Friday.

Marcolini, appointed in January 2022 after Devis Mangia’s departure, had been tasked with leading the national team to promotion in the UEFA Nations League.

In addition to managing the men’s senior team, he oversaw other national squads within the MFA.

Despite his contract running until December 31, 2024, the team’s performance, particularly a 2-0 defeat to Moldova last week, reportedly led to his dismissal.

Although Malta secured a 1-0 win over Andorra on Tuesday, keeping their UEFA Nations League hopes alive, the MFA decided to terminate Marcolini’s contract due to recent results.

Assistant coach Davide Mandelli was also relieved of his duties. The MFA expressed gratitude for both coaches’ contributions during their tenure, and further announcements about replacements will follow after the next Executive Board meeting.

Malta’s next match in the UEFA Nations League is scheduled for October 13, where they will face group leaders Moldova at the National Stadium in a crucial encounter.

Lady Gaga Responds To Old Facebook Page Saying She’ll Never Make It

Lady Gaga Responds To Old Facebook Page Saying She’ll Never Make It
Sep 14 2024 Share

Lady Gaga recently responded to a resurfaced story about an old Facebook group created by her former classmates at NYU, mocking her dreams of fame. Gaga briefly attended NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts before leaving in 2005 to pursue music.

Around this time, she was performing under her stage name, Lady Gaga, leading some classmates to create a group called “Stefani Germanotta, you will never be famous.” The group ridiculed her performances and aspirations.

A viral TikTok video now showcases screenshots of the deleted group alongside a list of Gaga’s many accomplishments, including 13 Grammy wins, an Oscar, and more.

Gaga herself commented on the video, sharing how her college peers doubted her, but emphasizing the importance of perseverance: “This is why you can’t give up.”

Her journey to fame wasn’t quick. After leaving college, she played small shows in New York City before releasing her debut album The Fame in 2008, featuring hits like “Just Dance” and “Poker Face.”

One former classmate later recalled how others would even stomp on her event flyers. Today, Lady Gaga is one of the most awarded artists in the world, with numerous Billboard hits, Grammy Awards, and an Oscar for her song “Shallow” from A Star Is Born.
