Southampton has been excluded from the Championship playoff final after an English Football League investigation discovered one of the club's analysts spying on a Middlesbrough training session before their semifinal first leg. As a result, Middlesbrough will take Southampton's place in Saturday's final against Hull City. The incident, which sparked considerable attention in English football, has echoes at AS Roma. In February 2024, Michele Orecchio, a collaborator of then-Torino coach Ivan Juric, was discovered observing a training session at Roma's Trigoria training ground on the famous "collinetta" (small hill). The same issue had been previously reported by José Mourinho's staff during the previous season. However, in both Roma cases, no significant sanctions were issued. The Southampton expulsion represents a notably stricter response to the spying incident compared to what occurred at Roma, highlighting differing approaches to the breach across different competitions and leagues.

La tanto attesa finale dei playoff di Championship è stata al centro del cosiddetto "Spygate" che ha portato all'esclusione del Southampton. Il club inglese, in seguito all'inchiesta della English Football League (EFL), è stato sanzionato dopo che un suo analista è stato sorpreso a spiare una seduta di allenamento del Middlesbrough prima della semifinale d'andata. IL Middlesbrough prenderà il posto del Southampton nella finale di sabato contro l'Hull City. L'episodio, che ha fatto parecchio scalpore, è in qualche modo familiare anche alla Roma. Nel febbraio del 2024, un collaboratore di Juric - allenatore del Torino all'epoca -, Michele Orecchio fu scoperto mentre osservava una sessione di allenamento nella famosa "collinetta" di Trigoria. Non si trattò di un caso isolato: lo stesso episodio era già stato segnalato in precedenza anche dallo staff di José Mourinho nella stagione precedente. In entrambi i casi, però, non arrivarono sanzioni rilevanti. © RIPRODUZIONE RISERVATA Commenta Continua la lettura Commenti Invia Commento Tutti Leggi altri commenti
