Malagò chaos as FIGC risk Special Commissioner over election paperwork
Italy's football governing body FIGC is in turmoil after irregularities in election documentation have raised the prospect of a Special Commissioner being appointed. Giovanni Malagò, the former CONI president, is at the heart of the administrative chaos. The situation threatens to disrupt the governance of Italian football at a critical time.
