Malago's support among Serie A clubs could be crucial in his next election.

Why it matters

Giovanni Malago's candidacy in Serie A is important because it signals stability and direction in the leadership of the football association. Malago, who has previously been CONI president, has garnered support among Serie A clubs, which could be an important step towards making him the new head of the FIGC. The process also involves administrative challenges, which could affect Federcalcio's status.

• After Malagó's candidacy and the secret of the general secretary: today the Serie A in assembly.

How is the situation with Serie A and Giovanni Malago? Last spring, when the national team suffered a defeat in Zenica and Federercalcio looked for a new direction following the resignation of Gabriele Gravina, the top league decided to make the former president of CONI the new head of the FIGC. It was all decided in advance, but an amazing administrative obstacle arose: Federative Calchico, for the ninth time in its history, has failed to register Malago today. Malago, who has been able to adapt to every role, has stepped down from the post of President to take up the charge of Commissioner so that he can prepare himself for the elections to be held on December 14. Will Serie A make Malago a candidate again? As few actors as there are in this drama, the answer is yes: the question is not if Serie A will again adopt the name of the Roman businessman, but when. Today, at 11.30 am, the clubs will gather again. The process of collecting signatures – which requires only 11 out of 20 and does not bind a vote – is not on the agenda, but it does not necessarily have to be: last spring it already took place in the corridors before the assembly. Malago hopes that his name can be publicly presented today: however, this is not so certain, it may take a few more days. And what about the General Secretary? Meanwhile, the discussion remains purely administrative. In the Commissioner's notification, CONI strongly criticized the actions of the federal structure. The current Secretary General, Marco Brunelli, is neither named nor his role mentioned. Rather, between the lines, a more direct criticism looked toward the federal prosecutor

May go. But Via Allegri believes that a change in that role is necessary, to ensure that Malago's candidacy is not recognized by the current head of the same office that formally preceded it. Discussions have been going on between the parties for some time, as no one wants to make Brunelli a scapegoat – he has already been told that he will not remain general secretary, but that he can remain in some other role in the union. His exit will open up the issue of succession, and Serie A is an interested spectator: not all clubs trust the 'promotion' of Giancarlo Vglione, current head of the legislative sector of the FIGC, who has been the head of a secret agreement between Malago, Assocalciatori and Assoallenatori. Additionally, there is a legal problem: according to the Constitution of the FIGC, the President appoints the Secretary General "after consultation with CONI and following the opinion of the Federal Council". The first step is possible – since CONI is required to consult for appointments, not for anything else – but not the second, unless it is considered that, assuming powers as Commissioner, Malago can consult himself. The Federal Council is currently defunct and Malago himself is its representative. To avoid forcing, the solution could also be to handle the electoral process with a caretaker – a person already within the federal structure – and to postpone the possible appointment of Viglione to a later time.

What will happen next

Today at 11.30 am, Serie A clubs will gather and discuss Mulago's candidacy.

Will discuss. Although the process of collecting signatures is not on the agenda, there is a possibility that Malago's name could be presented publicly. There will also be discussion on the status of Secretary General Marco Brunelli, who is currently in uncertainty due to administrative issues.
