Inter chairman Zhang fined after calling Serie A chief 'clown' for handling of coronavirus

Inter chairman Steven Zhang has been handed a fine by the Italian football federation for his criticism of Serie A president Paolo Dal Pino over his handling of the coronavirus crisis.

Zhang was highly critical of Serie A's decision to continue matches in March, calling out Dal Pino specifically for disregarding public health.

At the time, the league had announced that Inter's clash with Juventus, a potential title-decider, would be played on March 8 in what turned out to be the last round of fixtures before the league temporarily shut down due to the coronavirus.
