The Italian Soccer Federation
(FIGC) on Monday took disciplinary action against Sampdoria
President Massimo Ferrero over an allegedly discriminatory
comment referred to an Indonesian colleague.
During an interview aired on October 26, Ferrero said he
had told former Inter President Massimo Moratti "to kick that
Filipino out" in reference to current Inter President Erick
Thohir, an Indonesian businessman.
UEFA last month banned FIGC chief Carlo Tavecchio for six
months for racist comments he made during his election campaign.
The 71-year-old in July drew heavy criticism over remarks
about "banana-eating" foreign players in Italy.
