The FIGC elections are approaching and, after the candidacy of AdrianoGalliani, it is now GiovanniMalagò's turn. The commissioner in office has already collected the 11 signatures necessary for accreditation by the Lega Calcio SerieA, the minimum requirement to be able to submit one's candidacy on 14 December.
The ducal club, Parma, was the first to confirm its support, allowing Malagò to reach the required number of signatures. With Parma's contribution, the number of signatures reaches 11 out of 20, the minimum to be able to submit the official application. The club thus joins Bologna, Fiorentina, Frosinone, Genoa, Lecce, Monza, Naples, Rome, Turin and Udinese, all the clubs that have already expressed their support.
Como, however, reiterated its support for Galliani, already "lined up" by Assocalciatori and Assoallenatori. In this way, while Malagò's candidacy is still to be formalised, the second phase of the elections focuses on convincing the other components to give their vote.
The feeling is that, in a very divided SerieA, both candidates will have to convince the individual clubs. Galliani starts with the lead, but the race to December 14th has just started. The final result will depend on each candidate's ability to consolidate their support and obtain the missing signatures before the deadline.
