Trapani Shark Win Without Coach as FIP Confirms €50,000 Fine and Transfers Stay Blocked

Federation sanctions tied to a disputed €120,000 tax installment have frozen transfers, triggering €50,000-per-game fines.

Overview

  • The FIP sports judge issued a €50,000 fine for the Udine game because Trapani failed to have 12 deposited professional contracts under the 6+6 roster rule.
  • After head coach Jasmin Repesa and assistant Skelin resigned, a requested extension for assistant Alex Latini was denied, so captain John Petrucelli handled in-game duties from the floor.
  • The unresolved €120,000 tax installment led to an earlier one-point penalty and continues to block incoming registrations, leaving the club short after Timmy Allen’s move to PAOK.
  • Trapani carry five points of deductions for administrative breaches, and the Procura Federale is investigating both fiscal compliance and 2025/26 registration documentation.
  • Fan tensions flared during the Udine match, with president Valerio Antonini reporting insults toward his wife and denouncing a near confrontation in the stands.
