JAKARTA - Mino Raiola's name suddenly made headlines in a number of world media. The agent of the Italian player was reported to have died, but this news was finally refuted.

The news of the death of Mino Raiola was revealed when the famous Italian journalist, Tancerdi Palmeri, posted on his Twitter account. The tweet was deleted and Palmeri later provided an explanation.

He said it was not speculation or "want to be the first (to report)". Palmeri admitted that he got the news from TgLa7, one of the leading television stations in Italy, which was later confirmed by all major media in Italy.

However, Palmeri did not mention which media confirmed the news. "But I tweeted wrong too, therefore I'm embarrassed and sorry," he wrote.

It was ANSA who reported that Mino Raiola had not actually died. The Italian news agency released comments from Dr Alberto Zangrillo, doctor of the San Raffaele Hospital, Milan, where Raiola is being treated.

"I am upset by calls from people claiming to be journalists and speculating about the lives of people who are struggling to live," said Dr Alberto Zangrollo.

Soon, Mino Raiola's official Twitter account also provided clarification regarding his condition.

"Current health status for those wondering: Annoyed. For the second time in four months, they killed me. Seems to be resuscitating too," the 54-year-old tweeted.
