The latest Inter Milan news has revealed that two Nerazzurri supporters have been sacked from their intern roles at Sky Sport 24.
Both juniors were dismissed after being caught live on air celebrating an injury-time Martin Frese own goal. That meant Inter recorded a priceless 2-1 win against Verona on matchday 10.
A Piotr Zielinski wonder-strike gave the visitors the lead before the Gialloblu hit back via Giovane’s effort. Frese’s error late on ensured Cristian Chivu’s men kept the pressure on Napoli at the top of the table.

Inter Milan News – Two Sky Sport 24 Interns Sacked
The Inter Milan stats from the first ten matchdays suggest the Nerazzurri could go on and win the Serie A title this season. Especially after the late and fortunate winning goal against Verona on November 2.
That feeling was likely shared by two Sky Sport 24 interns who couldn’t contain their joy during a live broadcast on Sunday afternoon.
As the game entered its final moments, the presenter was providing an update from the Stadio Marcantonio Bentegodi when Martin Frese deflected the ball into his own net.
This prompted the interns to joyfully celebrate behind the scenes. Eagle-eyed viewers could see the interaction before the pair shuffled out of view of the main camera.
Later on, the duo were told to pack their bags and leave the studio. Naturally, this prompted a variation of opinions on the topic with many believing it to be harsh. Some believed it was justified owing to a lack of neutrality and professionalism.
Soccer Supporters React As Sky Sport 24 Interns Sacked
Inter Milan have now won six of their last seven Serie A games and are pushing hard to reach the summit in Italy’s elite soccer division.
Against Verona, emotions were clearly running high when Martin Frese steered the ball past his own goalkeeper which resulted in a number of celebrations. Including the two Sky Sport 24 interns.
“They are interns surely this isn’t a big deal, reprimand them sure but firing seems over the top,” one supporter blasted on Reddit.
“Prohibited to have employees who support Inter,” another added on X.
“Is it forbidden to cheer for your own team?” Said another user on the social media platform.
However, not everybody who witnessed the incident was so forgiving: “It’s right to have fired them, you do journalism and you should be objective and neutral even towards your own team, if you don’t do it you’ve chosen the wrong job.”
“The real problem is that with these draconian contracts a company can fire someone over something as trivial as that,” another added.

What Did The Sky Sport 24 Director Have To Say?
Italian journalist Francesco Ordine explained on X that the Sky Sport 24 director was quick to blast the behavior of the two interns.
He said: “The Director of Sky Sport, Federico Ferri, intervened promptly by sending the two ultra interns home and signing a very tough internal circular on the extremely delicate matter.”
An extract of the letter condemned the incident. It also served as a reminder that such behavior won’t be tolerated whilst working for Sky Sport 24. No matter the capacity of the position held.
“Dear colleagues, today the editorial staff was the protagonist of a scene unworthy of our profession and of the prestige and seriousness that distinguish and should distinguish Sky Sport.
“I say ‘the editorial staff’, meaning all of us, because for the people outside, there aren’t individual perpetrators, but Sky Sport, period. And when one of us makes a fool of ourselves, we all make a fool of ourselves.
“Celebrating a goal by any team, whatever it is, in any match, and putting on bar-room or stadium-style antics (unfortunately, this also applies to the press boxes, but that’s another matter) is always unacceptable, especially if the scene ends up on air.”
Inter Milan News – Will The Club Defend The Interns?
It’s highly unlikely Inter Milan will say anything on the matter as it was nothing to do with the club itself. Although the decision to sack the Nerazzurri-supporting issues has been deemed harsh, it’s a Sky Sport 24 decision.
If they have been in breach of their contracts, the outcome is hard to challenge. Naturally, journalists and reporters must remain neutral. No matter if their respective team scores a last-minute winner like on November 2.
With that said, it is common to see ex-pros who have turned pundits celebrate. Especially in England’s Premier League with Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher.
However, Italy clearly has a very different stance. In particular when it comes to interns who are learning the ropes. Discipline is vital to succeed and slack clearly won’t be given in such matters.
Nonetheless, if the pair were to reach out to Inter, it may help in their case to reclaim their positions. With that said, it’s debatable whether they would want to explore the opportunity to go back.
