Galliani appeals Malagò's commission and targets Genoa's signature
The appeal seeks to annul the commission checking FIGC candidacies and puts the spotlight on Genoa's endorsement, key for Malagò to reach the quorum.
Adriano Galliani has appealed to the National Federal Tribunal against the commission that Giovanni Malagò, as the FIGC's extraordinary commissioner, set up on 2 November to verify candidacies for the 14 December elections. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, he wants it annulled because no regulation provides for it and the General Secretariat should handle the checks.
The most delicate point is the conflict of interest: Malagò appointed the commission and the next day filed his own candidacy. His backing of eleven Serie A accreditations, the minimum required, includes that of Genoa, which had supported Galliani and later withdrew its signature. Without that endorsement, Malagò would not reach the quorum.
Galliani wants the tribunal to act before candidacies are published, scheduled for 14 November.
