FIGC: Malagò "failure to apply as a unit would highlight a fracture in the Serie A"

"Football has always shown that there is a conflict that often arises from very strong personalities. It is essential to find a way to live with it and try to find the key to the problem. I think that if there wasn't a united candidacy there would still be a fracture of the League of A and this doesn't seem to me to have led to anything particularly positive in the last twenty years."

Thus Giovanni Malagò, FIGC commissioner, on the sidelines of the General States of Progetto Civico Italia in EUR, commented on the possible entry into the field of Galliani as his contender for the presidency of the FIGC.

However, Malagò adds that "I am an optimist by nature and I think that common sense triumphs in the end, even if this is not always the case. I had heard from the clubs, as was right, because every time there is a member it is normal to call the people who represent these clubs and make their candidature available. This came in the hours before what is the idea that some other club would have had".

Finally, to those who ask if the electoral match will end on November 4th, the last day to present the candidacy, he replies that "football, regardless of the membership card, has an upstream prerequisite, namely that a component can express a candidate with a majority. I don't know that mathematics can give more than a majority" he concludes.
