A Malta Football Association probe into the behaviour of men's football national team coach Devis Mangia has been extended to the end of October. MFA president Bjorn Vassallo said the association's safeguarding officer, who is looking into allegations concerning Mangia, had been given "more time" to complete the investigation. Sources later told Times of Malta that the investigation would be wrapped up by the end of the month. Vassallo made the announcement during the association’s Executive Board meeting, held at the Centenary Hall on Tuesday.
Mangia is currently suspended from his duties, after last month two national team players reported him of improper conduct.

The Italian coach has been accused by two players of sexual harassment and was immediately relieved of his duties, pending an investigation.

The Malta FA launched an inquiry into the case and referred the case to the Safeguarding Officer, who was given the job to to investigate the allegations made, gather information and compile a report about the case.
Police have also been informed of the allegations against Mangia, who has denied all claims of misconduct.
