More sexual misconduct allegations against coach Mangia hail from Romania
Oct 3 2022 Share

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.

Crucial resignations at St Albert continues to impact staff morale
Oct 3 2022 Share

Continuing the update releases of St Albert the Great College, sources have revealed that two crucial resignations have taken place as students, staff and MUT members attempt to continue the first few weeks of school following the letting go of previous head Mario Mallia. 

A history teacher at the school, Bernard Cauchi, revealed on a Facebook post that a teacher and a deputy head, Anna Zarb, resigned from their positions. 

Cauchi explained that the resignation did not happen due to normal circumstances of teachers and staff switching schools for better opportunities. The resignations happened, he said, due to the tragic and ‘toxic’ situation at St Albert. 

Cauchi said that through these indirectly forced resignations, Fr Aaron and the ‘Dominican rule’ makes sure that the school becomes completely theirs. He also said that the inclusivity programmes which were not supposed to be stopped were in fact put on hold. 

Cauchi nonetheless thanked the resigned staff for all that they did for the students. He described their resignation as a massive loss for education and even the church in Malta. 

Only 1 out of 5 deputy heads remains, sources from the school revealed. The remaining deputy head is under immense pressure to manage the situation at the college. As for the new headmaster, sources have stated that there is a lack in leadership skills and that the situation does not help at all.

Amini was killed after being detained by morality police for reportedly not properly adhering to the country’s strict Islamic dress code. 

Since then, some of the most serious protests in the country for years have been taking place. The protests have seen various women burning their hijabs and cutting their hair, as well as Iranian security forces clashing with students at a prominent university in capital, Tehran. 

Iran Human Rights said that so far, around 133 have been killed across Iran.
