Salernitana: ‘Replace all referees, we demand justice’

The club had already been furious at a supposed Federico Gatti foul during the defeat to Juventus, then vented their anger following today’s 2-1 loss to Napoli.

Coach Pippo Inzaghi already protested in the press conference and demanded ‘respect’ for his team, but Iervolino took it much further.

“We want a moratorium and the total substitution of all these referees,” the President told La Repubblica.

“It has now become necessary to loudly call for the resignation of chief designator Gianluca Rocchi. The rot starts from the head.”

Salernitana are bottom of the Serie A table and that is largely because they have fumbled an incredible 15 points from leading situations.

“I have no words for the scandalous and offensive refereeing in this match, which is mortifying for our club,” continued Iervolino.

“There was a penalty on Nwankwo Simy and Diego Demme fouled Loum Tchaouna before the Napoli goal. They are incredible errors.”

DAZN refereeing expert Luca Marelli analysed the various incidents in this match and ruled that there were no significant mistakes.
