FIGC: Malagò says running again was 'the right thing to do', with only respect for Galliani

Giovanni Malagò, FIGC commissioner, explained his decision to run again for the federation presidency from the stage of "Nexus" in Latina. He said: “I put forward my candidacy because it seemed the right thing to do,” recalling his election on 22 June with a large majority and the controversies over pantouflage and registrations. Speaking about Adriano Galliani, a possible challenger, he said: “I can only respect and esteem him,” adding that the difference between the two is not one of age and that he wants to bring innovation and courage from other fields into football. On the federation's placement under a commissioner, he said that everyone on the Giunta would have come out as losers and that this solution was “the lesser of two evils”.
