Italian Olympic Committee (CONI)
Secretary-General Roberto Fabbricini was elected commissioner of
the Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) Thursday after Italy's
soccer world failed to elect a new president following the
resignation of Carlo Tavecchio after Italy's failure to qualify
for the World Cup.
Alessandro 'Billy' Costacurta, the former AC Milan and Italy
defender, and Angelo Clarizia were named assistant commissioners
by a CONI panel led by President Giovanni Malagò.
Malagò said Fabbricini would serve for six months, "and then
we'll see if that is enough".
Fabbricini said Malagò would be commissioner for the Lega A
group of Serie A clubs.
Fabbricini, 72, has been secretary-general of CONI for he
last five years.
A former junior sprinter, Fabbricini has been at CONI since
1972.
He has been a manager since 1984 and an upper manager since
1994.
He has also been on the organising panel for the
Mediterranean games.
In 2014 he was named commissioner of CONI's Marche chapter.
