Rome, March 4 (Adnkronos) – “Serie A soccer league looking for a new president? I know the environment very well. There are also many longtime friends. I’m sorry, I believe that basically the theme is not so much in the choice of a person or on the fact of who is the proponent. The problem, I would say, is one of mentality. I was the protagonist of a change of statute, of a governance model that in fact implies that there is a body that represents them, instead I think that there is still a resistance, legitimate but in my opinion wrong, of an Institute that is the Assembly which in some way means that still everyone, despite the governance, believes it is more correct to set things up through their own evaluation of the problems “. This was stated by the president of Coni and member of the IOC Giovanni Malagò, in an interview with Adnkronos.
“No model is replicable, but when you make comparisons with the things that work in the world, you see that those that are successful, such as the American professional leagues, have one person, the commissioner who advocates for everyone’s interests. And if he no longer enjoys the trust, the Assembly is disheartened but as long as he is there he must be allowed to work. If you want to influence the person, he returns to the question of mentality ”, added Malagò.
