Soccer-Roundup-Collina unhappy with Serie A referee

MILAN Feb 11 (Reuters) - Soccer news in brief from around the world:

* Italian refereeing chief Pierluigi Collina has criticised official Stefano Farina for walking straight off the field and not shaking hands with the players following Inter Milan's controversial 2-0 win at Catania on Sunday.

Esteban Cambiasso was offside when he tapped in Inter's opener in the latest of a series of marginal decisions which have favoured the league leaders recently.

"Referees must shake hands with the players afterwards. It helps dilute tension," Collina told reporters.

* Croatia coach Slaven Bilic will stay on after the Euro 2008 finals, Croatian FA chief Vlatko Markovic was quoted as saying.

"Bilic is likely to be offered a different salary, but he will remain with us after Euro 2008," Markovic told the Jutarnji List daily.

* Barcelona defender Oleguer will miss both legs of his side's Champions League last 16 tie against Celtic after breaking a bone in his left hand during his side's 1-1 draw at Sevilla on Saturday.

The club said on their Web site (www.fcbarcelona.com) that the right back was expected to be out of action for around six weeks.

* English Championship (second division) Coventry City have sacked manager Iain Dowie after a year in the job, the club said on their Web site (www.ccfc.premiumtv.co.uk) on Monday.

Dowie was the 1987 FA Cup winners' ninth manager since their relegation from the Premier League in 2001 after 34 years in the top flight.
