FIGC Vice-President Mazzini resigns
Wednesday 10 May, 2006
After FIGC President Franco Carraro, it was confirmed this evening that Vice-President Innocenzo Mazzini has also resigned.
The Federation released an official statement announcing the decision to hand in his resignation following the growing scandal surrounding Juventus.
Bianconeri director general Luciano Moggi’s alleged telephone conversations with refereeing designator Pierluigi Pairetto were recorded by investigators and printed in newspapers in Italy last week.
“My current state of mind in personal and federal terms is extremely uncomfortable,” explained Mazzini.
“As a citizen and a man of sport, I have not been hit by disciplinary action, or a legal challenge Nonetheless, I feel it best to leave now and clarify any misunderstanding.”
The Federation has come under increasing pressure as a result of the telephone interception allegations which has brought into question the credibility of the Italian game.
Although Carraro pledged that the “sporting justice system would act quickly and with vigour,” he threw in the towel on Monday.
“The Federation’s commitment in the coming days and months are so many and large that it will need a management that is fully able to fulfil its functions and concentrate on itself,” stated Carraro.
Carraro’s decision to step down, which he was set to do later this year anyway, has seen Vice-President Giancarlo Abete automatically promoted to the top job.
