The inaugural Giovanni Galeone Prize will take place in Pescara on May 28 at 4:30 PM, honouring the late football coach who passed away on November 2. Gian Piero Gasperini, Roma's head coach, and Massimiliano Allegri have been selected as recipients, recognised for their strong connections to Galeone and the Pescara club during his tenure there. Gasperini shares a particularly close bond with Galeone, who served as his mentor during his time at Pescara.

The event is being organised by the Abruzzese Sports Journalists Union and the Abruzzese Union of Sports Journalists, and will be held in the council chamber of Pescara's municipal building. The ceremony will feature speakers including Italy's FIGC president Gravina, FIGC vice-president Daniele Ortolano, and Abruzzo LND president Ezio Memmo. Several prominent sports journalists are also scheduled to participate, including Francesco Repice from RAI Sport, Riccardo Cucchi, and Paolo Condó.

Galeone was a respected manager who worked with several Italian clubs including Napoli, Udinese, and Perugia throughout his career. The award recognises his legacy and influence on the next generation of Italian football coaches.

Roma-Lazio derby scheduled for Sunday 12:00 as Lega seeks compromise with tennis finals

AS Roma's Derby della Capitale clash against SS Lazio on 17 May has become the subject of a scheduling dispute involving public order authorities. The match, part of Serie A's 37th round, is set to take place the same day as the final of the 83rd edition of the Internazionali BNL d'Italia tennis tournament. Both events occur within metres of each other at the Foro Italico, creating significant crowd management challenges. The Lega di Serie A initially proposed a 12:30 kick-off, but Rome's Prefettura (local authority) pushed back, suggesting the derby be moved to Monday 18 May at 20:45. In response, the Lega and Prefettura have now proposed a compromise: hold the derby on Sunday 17 May at 12:00, with all concurrent Serie A matches scheduled for the same time, while requesting the Italian Tennis and Padel Federation delay the tennis final by two and a half hours to 17:30. This would allow both events to proceed on the same day several hours apart. The tennis final is already sold out. The proposal would also affect matches involving Juventus, Milan, Como, and Napoli—all contenders in the Champions League race—forcing them to play at an unusual midday slot during May's heat and heightened competition tension. Official confirmation remains pending. Details of whether all parties will accept the compromise remain unclear, and further changes could still occur before the final decision is announced.
