Hull City has strongly condemned "racist abuse" directed at their new signing, Robinio Vaz, after the announcement of his transfer. The club shared a social media post on Tuesday confirming that the 19-year-old French striker had joined on a season-long loan from Roma. However, the post was later removed after it was targeted by online abuse. Hull City has since confirmed it is working with local police and other authorities to identify those responsible for the discriminatory messages. The club has reiterated its stance that no individual should face discrimination and has pledged full support for Vaz. Hull City has a strict zero-tolerance policy on all forms of discrimination and has been in contact with the Premier League, the anti-racism charity Kick It Out, and the social media platforms involved. The club is encouraging fans to report any instances of discrimination they encounter online. Robinio Vaz, who scored one goal in Serie A last season, is expected to play a key role for Hull City this season. The loan deal includes an option for the club to buy him outright at the end of the season. Hull head coach Sergej Jakirovic called the abuse "a disaster" and "unacceptable," stressing that there should be "zero tolerance" for such behavior. He expressed confusion over the fact that the abuse came from a "fake account," questioning why the perpetrators would not use their real names. Jakirovic also noted that the club is fully supporting Vaz, who is still learning English, and is helping him with communication and integration into the team. The coach emphasized that the club stands firmly behind its new player and is committed to addressing the issue of online abuse. The incident has sparked a broader conversation about the need to combat discrimination in football and beyond.
