Valeri to officiate Coppa Italia clash

Paolo Valeri will take charge of Thursday night’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg between the Bianconeri and Fiorentina at Juventus Stadium.

The last time the Rome-born official presided over a Juventus fixture was in December’s Super Cup encounter in Doha, while the hosts’ league record under his stewardship reads seven wins, four draws and three defeats.

He will be assisted by Alessandro Giallatini and Giulio Dobosz, with Paolo Mazzoleni to operate as fourth official.
