Controversy Surrounds Lazio’s Eagle Keeper's Dismissal
Juan Bernabe, the keeper of Lazio's iconic eagle, has been dismissed due to social media activity, leading to a standoff and police involvement at the club's training ground.
Juan Bernabe, the long-serving keeper of Lazio's iconic eagle, has found himself at the center of a controversy that has sparked headlines. The incident began when Bernabe was dismissed from his duties at the club over his social media activity, which was deemed inappropriate by club officials. The situation escalated when Bernabe allegedly barricaded himself at the club's training ground, prompting police intervention.
The controversy took a bizarre turn when Bernabe denied barricading himself, stating in a radio interview that he was merely resting in his room as he recovered from recent surgery. According to Bernabe, the police arrived with five officers to verify that he was not locked in, though he clarified that he was simply sitting quietly in his room. The confusion was further compounded when Bernabe revealed that he had been given formal notice by Lazio to vacate the premises by January 15. However, the situation grew tense as Bernabe presented a medical certificate signed by his doctor, Dr. Antonini, which confirmed that he was not fit to move and required additional time for recovery.
As tensions continued to mount, Lazio’s officials expressed their desire for Bernabe to vacate the training ground as soon as possible, leading to a disagreement over the validity of his medical certificate. The dispute centers around whether the certificate was valid for 10 days or 30 days, with the club arguing that Bernabe should have already vacated the premises. Despite the ongoing conflict, Bernabe remains resolute in his stance and has stated that he will not leave until he has fully recovered, highlighting his determination to uphold his rights during the situation.
This extraordinary turn of events has drawn significant media attention, with both local and national outlets closely following the story. The future of Bernabe with Lazio is now uncertain, and the situation has become a focal point of public discussion in Italy.
