Malago, FIGC president: "Within a week will have a coach and technical director"

Giovanni Malago, the new president of the FIGC, said of the appointment of the national team coach: "There is no single path", with Mancini and Conte named as main options. Malaco aims to find a new technical director within a week before the national coach is appointed. which was a promise after his first board meeting. The good news is that all teams have been approved. No team was disqualified. Malago also spoke about the problems in Serie C, saying there are nine teams out of 56 that will be promoted from League D within a few days and they must prepare well. He also had the idea of ​​finding a person who would act as technical director and president of the Italian club at the same time. The person with the potential is Paolo Maldini, which he confirmed. "I haven't talked to anyone yet" about working in this position. Malago stated that If Maldini doesn't give him a chance. He will have to look for two people: someone with technical knowledge to act as technical director (such as Massara) and someone with connections to Italian clubs (such as Albertini or Costacurta). For new national team coaches Malaco discusses possibility of financial support from Serie A league This is an idea proposed by Serie A president Ezio Simonelli. And it must be presented at league meetings before clubs can consider it. Most recently, Simonelli has taken on a more important role as vice president of the FIGC, while AIC president Umberto Calcagno is only vice president. This election changed the game because it had the support of the entire league. which played an increasingly important role in the Malago era
