Genoa's double signature shakes the FIGC race: Malagò at risk
Galliani has filed the Genoa signature the club had withdrawn; if struck out, Malagò falls from 11 backers to 10, and a ruling comes within 10 days.
Genoa signed twice at the Federcalcio. The club first backed Giovanni Malagò, then withdrew that support with an email sent to Adriano Galliani and the Serie A league. As TuttoMercatoWeb reports, Galliani has attached that same signature to his own paperwork, even though he did not need it: his candidacy already has the backing of the players' and coaches' associations.
The problem is the numbers. Malagò collected eleven signatures from Serie A clubs, exactly the minimum. Under the rules, double signatures are annulled, so if Genoa's endorsement is thrown out, Malagò would fall to ten and lose the majority he needs.
A commission led by General Vincenzo Parrinello has 10 days to rule, and the election is on 14 December.
