CONI: the Council convened for the FIGC case, Buonfiglio announces the opinions of the jurists

"This morning the meeting began for the Council which will be held on 6 October at 1pm, to favor President Malagò who had limited time. And the National Council will follow." Thus Luciano Buonfiglio, president of Coni, on the sidelines of the presentation of the new season of men's and women's water polo, announced the dates of the meetings that will address the topic of possible FIGC commissionership, in the case of Malagò's failure to register. "We have equipped ourselves well to leave no room for interpretation. We will send the four opinions of our jurists to the presidents of the federations", concludes Buonfiglio.

"We will send the opinions to all the members of the Council and the National Council with the documentation of our jurists. We will ensure that the Council cannot adopt personalistic attitudes by going outside the scope in which we have to decide. We - added Buonfiglio - are called to decide without ifs or buts. As a public official I have the duty to document and these four opinions are solid. I will present a report and the opinions will be sent so that no one can say they were not informed in time"

The CONI president then concluded by underlining that he has "no doubts about the sense of responsibility and belonging to the sporting world. It is necessary to restore ethics and respect for the rules, we have this duty because we fill our mouths with these values but when it comes down to it we don't have the courage and coherence to apply them".

A comment, then, on the resignation of Diana Bianchedi as head of delegation of the Italian national football team. "It's difficult to interpret. I had agreed with her to wait for the Anac's opinion, but instead she wanted to sign first. Now we're waiting for the Anac's opinion, which if it were to be unfavorable would be a serious embarrassment for everyone. I hope that everything goes well."
