Belloli became the subject of an Italian football federation (FIGC) inquest last week following the comments, which were reported to management at the FIGC.
The FIGC held a meeting in Rome on Thursday and Belloli, according to a website report on La Gazzetta dello Sport, was &ldquo;voted out&rdquo; of his post.
Belloli&rsquo;s comments, made on March 5, came to light last week in a report on www.soccerlife.it, which had obtained a trancript of the meeting. He is reported to have said during a meeting on women&rsquo;s football: &ldquo;That&rsquo;s enough, we can&rsquo;t keep on talking about giving money to these four lesbians.&rdquo;
In denial mode Belloli denied he had made the comments but FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio immediately underlined the threat to Belloli&rsquo;s position. &ldquo;If Belloli has said these things, then it&rsquo;s serious. These words are hateful and unacceptable,&rdquo; said Tavecchio, a former president of the federation.
