Serie A club Udinese has identified and banned a fan for life who racially abused AC Milan goalkeeper Mike Maignan during their match.
The 28-year-old Maignan, who is Black, walked off the field after being subjected to monkey noises. Udinese, in collaboration with local police and stadium security cameras, identified the individual responsible for the discriminatory behavior, imposing a lifetime ban on attending Udinese matches.
The club emphasizes the need for strong measures against racism and awaits a decision from the Italian sporting judge on Udinese's punishment. Calls for tougher sanctions on fan misbehavior continue in Italian football.
