Gaetano Micciche, president of the Lega Serie A, had many words of praise for the former Inter owner, Massimo Moratti, who declined the proposal to run for the presidency of the FIGC.

Micciche spoke about the FIGC presidential opening and why Moratti might have rejected the opportunity: “Massimo Moratti is not only one of the most important figures in Italian sports, but also in the the Italian economic system. He is a figure that has earned everyone’s respect, he is a person of great quality.”

He and his family have been historically committed and passionate about sports and he is an ideal candidate for anything, not just being the president of the FIGC, but any other important institutional role. I also believe that it is normal that at this time, after a very serious grief that he had recently, he is more involved in his company activities, but who knows what could happen in two years” Micchiche stated.
