Claudio Lotito (owner of Lazio) has voiced his support for appointing a special commissioner to oversee significant restructuring within the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). This call for change arises in the wake of Italy's failure to qualify for the World Cup for the third time in a row, leading to the resignation of FIGC President Gabriele Gravina. At a recent Lega Serie A meeting in Milan, 18 of the 20 clubs expressed support for Giovanni Malagò, the former President of the Italian Olympic Committee, as the new FIGC President. However, Lotito and Hellas Verona abstained from this decision, arguing that the underlying system requires a complete overhaul. Lotito emphasized that the existing framework, established 45 years ago, is outdated and needs a redesign from top to bottom. He believes that appointing a special commissioner would allow for necessary reforms without the need for majority backing, a role Malagò has previously held during a similar crisis in 2018.
