I'll explain mistake says Tavecchio

(see previous).
    (ANSA) - Rome, August 20 - New Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC) President Carlo Tavecchio said he would explain "my mistake and my real intentions" after UEFA opened a probe Wednesday into alleged racist remarks during his recent campaign to become FIGC chief. He said he was "serene and respectful of UEFA's decision" to probe the alleged "banana-eating" comment.
    Tavecchio, elected to replace Giancarlo Abete who quit after Italy's World Cup debacle, said the FIGC had been expecting the probe as a "due act".
    "I am certain I will be able to explain, also in the UEFA forum, both my mistake and my real intentions."
