CONI to decide on FIGC special commissioner, Malago's removal October 6

On October 1, CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio announced a decision regarding the FIGC's future will be made on October 6, with indications that Giovanni Malagò may be removed from his position. Buonfiglio suggested Malagò's election as FIGC President could be nullified due to paperwork issues, claiming that he was not a registered member of the FIGC at the time of his election in June 2026. If confirmed, the FIGC will be placed under a special commissioner, affecting ongoing reforms associated with Malagò. Next steps include preparing judicial opinions to ensure full transparency leading up to the committee meeting. The decision aims to uphold ethics and regulations within Italian football.
