Serie A clubs must choose a candidate for the presidency of the FIGC. Lega A had previously expressed support for Giovanni Malagò.
The informal meeting between the Serie A clubs offers an interim outcome. In fact, as far as we know, there is no consensus among the clubs called to choose their candidate for the presidency of the FIGC between Giovanni Malagò and Adriano Galliani.
The authoritativeness of the profile of Galliani, former CEO of Milan and Monza, is not questioned by anyone but some clubs have asked why, after having reiterated Lega A's support for Malagò three weeks ago, a change of direction is now necessary. The answer is in the recent availability given by Galliani. But there are also those who have observed how Malagò's work can be evaluated after only four months. The positions therefore remain undefined. 14 clubs participated in the meeting remotely. Only Inter, Juve, Milan, Lazio, Rome and Naples were missing.
