Moggi: “Gravina should resign, it’s his fault”. And the president brings forward the elections

Italy has left the European with a disappointing exit. The defending champions were eliminated in the round of 16 by Switzerland, losing 2-0 in a decisive match. During the tournament, few players stood out, with the exception of Gianluigi Donnarummawhose intervention between the posts has often saved the team.

Commenting on the evident drop in performance is Luciano Moggiinterviewed by Adnkronoswho commented: “Many blame the coach for the mistakes made – declared the former Juventus player – but the real person responsible for this defeat is the president of the Italian Football FederationGabriele Gravina”.

“He”, he continues, “failed to defend the interests of our football, as in A league too many foreigners play, limiting the opportunities for our young talents. Even if you can’t prevent the free movement of workers, he should have introduced a rule that forced teams to field no more than 5 foreign players”.

“It would be better if he followed the example of his predecessor Abete and resigned – he continued -. When the Government abolished the growth decreeGravina had the courage to criticize, instead of thanking him, since this measure will not make it more advantageous for clubs to buy a foreigner than an Italian player”.

Gravina brings forward the elections of the Federation president

For his part, Gravina decided to bring forward the elective assembly of the Federation to November 4, deviating from the original date planned for March, at the end of his mandate. This decision follows Italy’s elimination from the European Championships and aims to prevent an adequate organization of the “opposite front”.

The assembly will be held at the Hilton Rome Airport Hotel in Fiumicino, with the first call at 8:30 and the second at 11:00. The agenda will include the verification of powers, the election of the president of the Assembly, of the councilors of the components in accordance with article 26, paragraph 4 of the Federal Statute, of the federal president, and of the president of the Board of Auditors. All components will also have to elect their presidents by this date.
