Galliani emerges as replacement if Malagò removed as FIGC President

Summary

Giovanni Malagò could be removed as FIGC President due to an election irregularity involving his membership status. Adriano Galliani, former CEO of AC Milan and Monza, is the leading candidate to succeed him, should Malagò be ousted. The situation stems from a lawyer's appeal regarding the June election, which Malagò won decisively. Several Serie A clubs are reportedly preparing for a transition period under a special commissioner, expected to be appointed in early October. Further complicating matters, Malagò might seek to reestablish his position but faces uncertainty regarding support from key clubs.
