Fabbricini elected FIGC commissioner (4)

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.
