The AIA have official appointed Fabio Maresca as referee for the Supercoppa Italiana that will be played between AC Milan and Inter in Saudi Arabia on Wednesday night.
To assist the Neapolitan there will be Alassio and Baccini as the linesmen, Chiffi as the fourth official while in the VAR room it will be Di Paolo and Abisso.

Meanwhile, Inter have had 11 matches directed by Maresca with two wins for them two draws and two defeats. However, there is no shortage of unpleasant episodes involving Maresca and Milan in the past.
