Bianchedi, a former Olympic fencing champion and former vice-president of CONI, was appointed Italy’s delegation chief two months ago. The position, previously held by Gigi Buffon, is intended to provide a link between the players, coaching staff and directors.

She resigned last night in direct response to comments from Abodi, who said Bianchedi had fundamental disagreements with Buonfiglio on a number of issues.

“The vice presidents have the right and duty to express their opinion, but if it is always contrary, they ought to make a choice,” Abodi said.

“That role was given to them as part of a relationship of trust. It’s sobering that two such iconic figures, entrusted with a leading role on trust, are unable to demonstrate their faith consistently.

“I do not have any enemies, nor do I want or seek them,” he said.

Abodi said he had not expected his remarks to result in Bianchedi leaving her post.

“I was surprised that Bianchedi resigned, everyone has the right to their own sensibilities and opinions. I didn’t think it would go this far.”
