Romano, 32, is an independent Italian sports journalist and influencer who boasts an incredible following of over 60 million people on X and Instagram.
He has worked as a freelance reporter for the likes of Sky Sports Italy, The Guardian and CBS Sports. Romano won the Best Football Journalist award at the 2022 Globe Soccer Awards and the Best Digital Journalist award at the 2023 edition.
His popularity even saw his likeness and social media incorporated in the EA Sports FC video game along with his signature catchphrase.
Born in Naples, Romano’s first big break arrived in 2011 when he received information from an Italian agent regarding then-Barcelona youth player Mauro Icardi’s move to Sampdoria.
Subsidiary companies for online casinos have become increasingly popular in recent years.
After a marketing ban on gambling sponsorships within Italian football came into effect in 2019, bookmakers knew they needed a different way to get their brand recognised.
Betway Scores was the official shirt sleeve sponsor of Serie A club Fiorentina last season and recently Bet365 Scores has landed deals with Napoli and Udinese.
