The Italian Football Federation’s list of candidates for its presidential election on 14 December will be announced today by secretary-general Marco Brunelli.
The election process remains clouded by an unresolved dispute over a “double signature” linked to Genoa, according to Corriere della Sera.
Former CONI president Malago is understood to be at the centre of the disagreement. If Brunelli supports Malago, Adriano Galliani is ready to take legal action, the report says.
Malago is also prepared to defend himself at every level if the signature attributed to the Rossoblu club is not recognised as his.
The candidate list is expected to clarify the next stage of the election process, although the dispute over the Genoa signature has not yet been settled.
Whatever the outcome of the controversy, the Italian Football Federation’s presidential election procedure must be completed by 31 January 2027.
