A few days ago, Luca Pancalli took the place of Guido Rossi, who resigned as the president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC). G. Rossi led Italian football for four months and stepped down due to the constant scandals surrounding the country's football, becoming the head of a telecommunications company.
L. Pancalli currently holds the position of vice president of the Italian Olympic Committee and also leads the Italian Paralympic Committee. It is believed that from now on, there will be greater focus on football from the Olympic Committee.
The new federation president emphasized that his main goals are to clean up Italian football from scandals and to restore peace and transparency to it.
Luca Pancalli, who is closely linked to the new Italian national team coach Roberto Donadoni, was considered the main contender for the position of federation president when Italian football was rocked by a series of scandals in the summer.
Italian football legend Gigi Riva emphasized that he is pleased that L. Pancalli has taken over the position of the country's football leader.
