Rivera: Pirlo not right for Italy, Im amazed anyone thought he could beItaly legend Gianni Rivera hit out at Andrea Pirlo and Paolo Maldini after the Russian gambling controversy. He cannot be the right person to lead the Nazionale, and Im shocked anyone thought he could be.The decision had seemingly been made to appoint Pirlo, the third choice for technical director Maldini and special advisor Leonardo after Carlo Ancelotti and Pep Guardiola turned down the job.However, it was scuppered by the revelation that Pirlo was a global brand ambassador for Fonbet, a Russian gambling site that is banned in Italy, which included a promotional visit to Moscow as recently as May 2026.MILAN, ITALY MAY 21: Andrea Pirlo and Paolo Maldini attend Special Teams Legends Onlus Press Conference on May 21, 2019 in Milan, Italy. (Photo by Claudio Villa/Getty Images)It is reported that Maldini was still pushing to appoint his former Milan teammate, but it was blocked by FIGC President Giovanni Malag.Rivera lashes out over Pirlo controversyFLORENCE, ITALY FEBRUARY 03: Gianni Rivera of Figc during the Panchina DOro Prize award at Centro Tecnico Federale di Coverciano on February 3, 2020 in Florence, Italy. (Photo by Gabriele Maltinti/Getty Images)Pirlo is not the right person, Italy legend and ex-politician Rivera told Repubblica newspaper.When it comes to his rapport with Russia, we must be very severe. At times like this, a similar relationship would expose the entire Italian football movement to a reputational risk.He cannot be the right person to lead the Nazionale, and Im shocked anyone thought he could be. I think and hope Maldini was not aware of this connection with the gambling company in Moscow.Pirlo was not the only 2006 World Cup winner attending that event in Moscow back in May, as Marco Materazzi is also a brand ambassador for Fonbet.Francesco Totti has also recently visited Russia to participate in sponsorship events.

The University of North Carolina Tar Heels' football program is set to open up training camp this week, entering year two of the Bill Belichick era. But on Monday, the program announced that general manager Michael Lombardi has been placed on administrative leave, effective immediately. The university offered no additional details and said leadership, staff and student-athletes were not permitted to discuss the personnel matter.It should be noted that the release came from UNC Vice Chancellor for Communications and Marketing Dean Stoyer, not from UNC athletics. Pete Nakos is reporting that the final decision to place Lombardi on paid administrative leave came from the North Carolina administration and not Belichick.North Carolina GM Michael Lombardi has been placed on paid leave, effective immediately. pic.twitter.com/XuyAiqtLmz Andy Staples (@AndyStaples) July 27, 2026With UNC coming off a very disappointing 2025 campaign, winning just four games, the hope was that the program could turn things around in year two. However, this is a rough start for the second season in the Belichick era.Lombardi was Bill Belichicks first hire after he accepted the UNC football coaching position in December 2024. The two worked together during Belichicks entire tenure as head coach of the Cleveland Browns from 1991-95, and Lombardi later worked with him again from 2014 to 2016 with the New England Patriots, when they won two Super Bowl rings.Lombardi also spent more than three decades in the NFL with the New England Patriots, San Francisco 49ers, Oakland Raiders, Denver Broncos, Philadelphia Eagles and Cleveland Browns. He was the highest-paid general manager in college football when hired, with an annual salary of $1.5 million.North Carolina is set to open up the 2026 season in Ireland, facing off against TCU in Week 0.This story will be updated with more information as it's released.
