Giovanni Malagò could be appointed as the special commissioner for the FIGC after questions arose regarding his election as president. The CONI committee is set to decide whether to invalidate Malagò's June election due to his lack of registration with the FIGC at the time. The Lega Serie A has expressed support for Malagò as president, but considers the special commissioner option to be disruptive. UEFA has warned that such a move could jeopardize Italy's co-hosting of EURO 2032. A meeting is scheduled for tomorrow to discuss the potential transition of Malagò to this new role, which could allow him to implement reforms while addressing the election eligibility issue.
