Italian sports officials review FIGC president Giovanni Malagò eligibility status

Giovanni Malagò maintains he is not concerned regarding ongoing inquiries into his FIGC presidency eligibility. Although FIGC Prosecutor Chiné previously requested the case be dismissed because Malagò met membership requirements after his election, the Attorney General of Sport rejected that request and ordered further investigation. CONI President Luciano Buonfiglio and Sports Minister Andrea Abodi stated they are closely monitoring the situation as it proceeds through sports justice channels. A potential ruling against his eligibility could lead to the revocation of his past decisions, including the appointment of Roberto Mancini as Italy head coach. Malagò, who serves as an individual IOC member, remains under scrutiny regarding the formal membership rules for federation presidents. Further evaluations are expected as officials determine if the current requirements were properly met.
