    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.
