Currently suspended football national team coach Devis Mangia is currently facing more sexual misconduct allegations, this time hailing from Romania.
Mangia had coached in Romania before Malta, and a mother of footballer Razvan Popa told GSP LIVE that her son was sexually harassed by the coach whilst he coached in League 1 at Craiova University.
The accusations came through Gazeta Sporturilor on Monday, claiming that Mangia told her son to watch a pornographic movie together before starting to masturbate in front of him.
Alexandra, Razvan’s mother, told reporters that her son underwent a deep depression after being sexually harassed by the coach and it forced him to terminate his football career early.
Mangia coached at CSU Craiova between 2017 and 2019, going to win the Romanian Cup in the 2018/19 season. Having denied accusations of misconduct after the board of the Malta Football Association asked its Safeguarding Board to investigate, Mangia did not yet comment on these new revelations.
Before this revelation, two local players came out with sexual accusations against Mangia.
