Francesco Seibessi , the president of the ASD Romana Monfalcone , a first category team, is also among the five people arrested by the police as part of the investigation into the clashes that took place at the end of the match between Udinese and Napoli , at the Dacia Arena in Udine.
The local newspapers of the Gedi Group reported this, emphasizing that the sports club has distanced itself from its president and that Seibessi is under house arrest . Last Friday, Romana Monfalcone celebrated its 70th anniversary , and today, through its sporting director, Gianluca Solidoro , he called Seibessi 's actions —caught on video and in photos during the pitch invasion by Udinese fans against Napoli— "in no way can they be considered sporting," and that young people must "have a different example than this."
Seibessi, a 54-year-old electrician, is known for his long-standing stint with Romana Monfalcone and for his past involvement with the Friulian football club. The article in Il Piccolo and Messaggero Veneto claims that the president has already "apologized to players, managers, and the club," and refers to a meeting on Friday, before his arrest.
