Mattarese on multi-ownership: "Malagio should not be afraid and must respect the rules"

The former president of Bari and the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), Antonio Mattarese, spoke about multi-ownership in Italian football during a ceremony in honor of Igor Protti, where the former striker was also named Curve Nord. Mattarese noted that multi-ownership should be eliminated by 2028, but there are efforts to change this rule. He expressed his belief that the FIGC President, Malagio, should not succumb to external pressure and should defend compliance with established rules. "I know Malaggio well, we worked together at the World Cup in 1990. He is a very respectful person and we have a good friendly relationship. We need to give him time to draw his conclusions," added Mattarese in an interview with Tuttobari.it. He also stressed that if Malagio cannot cope with the situation, it will be a bad start for his work.
