Overview
- Serie A, which voted Monday in Milan, said 18 of 20 clubs endorsed Malagò and set an April 20 meeting for him to present his plans.
- Lega president Ezio Simonelli said the decision now rests with Malagò, who must formalize his candidacy ahead of the June 22 election.
- Inter chief Giuseppe Marotta led the push for Malagò, while Adriano Galliani said he will not run after being urged by Milan and Juventus.
- Lazio and Hellas Verona abstained, with Lazio owner Claudio Lotito urging a special commissioner and a top-to-bottom overhaul.
- Serie A holds 18% of the FIGC vote compared with 34% for the amateur leagues, so winning will require a broader coalition and a program that addresses a new coach, youth pathways, and stadium upgrades for Euro 2032.
