FIGC Presidency: Malagò runs but is not alone; Galliani's shadow looms

Malagò faces competition for the FIGC presidency as Serie A clubs remain divided; Galliani emerges as alternative candidate ahead of December 15 vote.

Four months after his electoral triumph, Malagò's position as FIGC commissioner faces uncertainty as the December 15 presidential election approaches. With candidacy nominations closing November 4, Serie A clubs remain split: Napoli, Monza, Torino, Lecce and Juventus back Malagò, but several clubs that previously supported him have shifted to backing Adriano Galliani, the former Milan architect. The league is fractured, with allied components (players and coaches) urging unity behind Malagò, while lower divisions expect the 20 Serie A clubs to maintain their choice.
