The Italian Olympic Committee
(CONI), Italian sport's governing body, on Tuesday extended the
term of Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) Commissioner Roberto
Fabbricini until December 10 this year.
Fabbricini, the CONI Secretary-General, was elected FIGC
commissioner on February 1 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 Malago'.
Malago' said Fabbricini would serve for six months, "and then
we'll see if that is enough".
Fabbricini said Malago' would be commissioner for the Lega A
group of Serie A clubs.
Fabbricini, 72, had been secretary-general of CONI for the
previous 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.
