Fabio Maresca's season has not begun well. Following the error in Milan-Torino on the opening day of Serie A (a penalty awarded to Morata that was subsequently withdrawn by the VAR) and the negligence that was also observed in Serie B, the referee would be the focal point of a controversy following the match that was conducted in Kuwait. The match in question is between Al-Arabi and Kuwait SC, valid for the sixth round of the championship. The referee from Naples allegedly threatened to kill Khaled Al-Murshed, a midfielder for Al-Arabi, saying to him, "I will kill you," in Italian, "ti ucciderò". The allegations are directly sourced from the X account of Adnan Mahmoud Abel, a member of the Board of Directors of the Kuwaiti team. The lawyer stated on his profile that they would immediately submit a complaint with the police on the incident, claiming to have videos and evidence. Fabio Maresca and Matteo Gariglio, who accompanied him for the VAR, have returned to Italy: The Italian Football Federation and the Italian Referees Association (AIA) have yet to receive any contact from Kuwait, including the customary report on the match director's performance. However, the AIA would be extremely dissatisfied with the situation and could implement measures to protect Maresca. He, on the other hand, will be a regular on the pitch today as the fourth official for PSV Eindhoven-Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League.
