After the era of Gravina, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) faces a pivotal moment, prompting discussions about its future direction and leadership. A prominent proposition suggests former CONI president Giovanni Malagò as a potential new president for the FIGC. This vision is often coupled with the invaluable insights of Italian football legend Roberto Baggio.
Baggio previously developed a comprehensive and ambitious plan titled ‘Renewing the Future.’ This extensive document, spanning 900 pages, was filled with detailed operational proposals aimed at significant reform within the technical sector of Italian football. However, his forward-thinking project unfortunately faced rejection in 2011 during Giancarlo Abete’s presidency. This setback ultimately led to Roberto Baggio’s resignation from his role as president of the technical sector, highlighting the challenges of implementing deep-seated changes.
