Maltese football team dedicate win to coach Devis Mangia despite allegations

Sep 28 2022

The Malta National Team beat Israel 2-1 yesterday evening in a sensational game at the National Stadium. With two late goals through Alex Satariano and Ferdinando Apap, the victory saw another massive achievement for the local players.

The match and victory were dedicated to head coach Devis Mangia, assistant coach Davide Mazzotta told reporters. This however comes after the head coach was suspended from his duties due to allegations of sexual harassment and assault on one of the players.

According to TVM News, the case has been referred to the police who are launching an investigation, which involves a recording on the harassment by Mangia.

In response, the Malta Football Association (MFA) said that Mangia was suspended from his duties due to what it deemed a policy breach.

However, the MFA did not comment on the issue further, saying that it awaits official police findings. Mangia had been head coach for three years, with a contract that expires next year. The national team saw various improvements and successes under Mangia’s leadership.

The musicians paced through the corridors of the care home and played some gentle band tunes for the residents. With a statue of the saint accompanying the musicians, the elderly patients as well as some of their loved ones, switched up the day-to-day life at the care home with a touching and artistic act.

The organisers were also massively praised for keeping Maltese tradition alive through this gesture, even getting some of the patients to reminisce back on their days attending village feasts.
