A “SEXY” football TV presenter has been called out by a female colleague over her “vulgar” outfits.
Valentina Maceri, who presents Champions League coverage on Swiss broadcaster Blue, was critical of DAZN Italy presenters.
A group of broadcasters have attracted attention in recent weeks at the Club World Cup.
They include Loris Karius’ wife Dilette Leotta, Giusy Meloni, Marialuisa Jacobelli, and Eleonora Incardoni, whom Maceri named specifically.
The criticism comes after Maceri published her new book – “F*** Female Empowerment: The Great Mistake of Modern Feminism“.
In the book she writes: “Personally, I would say that the way female reporters present themselves on the sidelines in Italy is sometimes borderline.
“I think women should be sexy, but always with style and class. That’s sometimes lacking in Italy. Here, the principle that sex sells applies strongly.”
Maceri, 31, then doubled down in an interview with Bild, slamming Incardoni for “vulgarity”.
She told the German outlet: “If you want to speak on an equal level with players and officials, it’s not conducive.
“Incardona mainly deals with DAZN BET – meaning she presents the betting odds. And she does it very sexy. Sometimes vulgarly.”
Incardoni has stunned in America with her outfit choices.
