According to Di Marzio, the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) has officially entered administration, with Giovanni Malagò appointed as temporary commissioner. Speaking publicly for the first time on Tuesday about his appointment, Malagò described the decision as "a victory for rationality" and revealed that elections for the FIGC could be held on December 14.

Discussing the appointment process, Malagò said: "I think you can each judge for yourselves whether there is a winner or loser, or perhaps neither. Describing what happened before as a 'misunderstanding' would be an understatement in my view."

"Yesterday, Buonfiglio called me and invited me to meet him today. A proposal was put forward that I fully agreed with, and it was confirmed by all committee members. There were no issues during the process."

Malagò explained his reasons for accepting the role: "I am doing this out of love for sport and CONI (Italian National Olympic Committee), and to avoid division and an embarrassing situation. For many people, this might be a complex matter, but I have shown a positive attitude toward this solution from the start."

Regarding the final arrangement, Malagò stated: "I feel at ease. We have also engaged in rational thinking throughout this process. Because, ultimately, what we are discussing is rationality and common sense."

He further emphasized: "I believe this is a victory for rationality. Now, I am working as temporary commissioner without any deputies, which makes me feel greater responsibility."

Regarding future FIGC elections, Malagò revealed: "Now I need to go back to the office and check the schedule. We will likely announce the election before December 7, and I think the earliest reasonable election date is December 14."

When asked whether the Italian football world always supported him, Malagò answered: "I don't know why some people think otherwise. The various constituent departments have always expressed their confidence in me."

Additionally, Malagò discussed the issues of eligibility and conflict of interest.

He said: "This is quite interesting. On one hand, I must meet the relevant registration requirements; on the other hand, I must not have conflicts of interest with clubs. But that's life, and we will address all issues with a firm approach."

"Buonfiglio made this request to me previously, before the committee meeting. He will also send me an official letter."

Regarding the possible return of Dario Franceschini, Malagò stated: "I think this is not a matter that should be handled by the temporary commissioner; it should be decided by the president."

Discussing his upcoming schedule, Malagò revealed that he will travel to Berlin the next morning for a meeting with UEFA President Aleksander Čeferin.

Finally, Malagò also commented on the recent performance of the Italian national team.

He said: "I am very pleased with the national team. We are going through a long process and have experienced many difficult moments. I attended your press conference, but such enthusiasm cannot last forever."

"What impressed me is that 4 million Italians followed the relevant information after the match. This is the result of the collective effort of Mancini, the players, Ranieri, and Baldini."
