The battle for the presidency of Lega Pro has begun between bulky godparents and noble strangers…

The race for the presidency of the Pro League has begun. Appointment February 9th in Rome at the CONI Hall of Fame. On the one hand, Marcel Vulpis, who has been vice-president for the last year and a half and therefore represents a continuity with the past, although with a noticeable imprint towards the present. Vulpis signed initiatives with mixed success, such as “Match of the Week” or NFT, which tried to bring younger viewers closer to a third series. On the other hand, another journalist such as Matteo Marani, deputy director of Sky Sport, president of the Fondazione Museo del Calcio and columnist for Tuttosport. This is not discussed professionally, the undersigned has been reading it since the days of Guerin Sportivo by Italo Cucci. But be careful: the Bolognese colleague has never been seen on the field of the third series in recent years. Consequently, knowledge of the category and the eternal problems associated with it, which are at least 2-3 decades old, are equal to zero. His election today would be a leap into the dark, despite the blessing of FIGC president Gabriele Gravina, who wants to put one of his “pawns” in command (or control?) of the third series. For two reasons: on the one hand, to carry out the reform of the championship, which he had been planning for at least 18 months, on the other, to have a considerable fiefdom of votes in support of his re-election. The feeling – do not be offended by anyone – is that no one cares about the C-series. It is seen as a vehicle that is beneficial to one’s interests, not as a resource that one can actually bet on. An opinion that I personally caught while talking to various insiders in the corridors of the Sheraton San Siro Hotel, where the last 48 hours of the Milan market took place. The necessary specification, taking into account the equally interesting initiative “Made by Adicosp” under the patronage of Iafa of the Roman market. Wouldn’t it be better to do one thing that everyone patronizes? This is another story that we will be happy to return to in the coming weeks. Step by step. Let’s now focus on the Vulpis-Marani duel: will the last Skye leave? We assume not, given the good earnings and the important role he plays in Santa Giulia. Frankly, this is understandable, and (almost) everyone in their place would do the same, even if it is unconstitutional. So watch out for conflicts of interest given that Sky could be competing with Dazn (Eleven is now being taken over, as we showed you in a preview last September) for TV rights to C that are expiring – look at the case – only next June. 30th. Not the perfect business card. As for the names of the two Maranian vice-presidents, the first assessments are opposite: Giovanni Spezzaferri confirmed that the category has lived it (with mixed fortunes) as president of the Aversa Normanna and is therefore aware of the criticisms and distortions of the Serie C system. About Gianfranco Writing Zola had a soft spot for Magic Box when he played, but at the same time he doubted a possible managerial position. First of all, because a few months ago, Zola was still thinking about a career as a coach, so either he was electrocuted on the way to Florence, or, not finding benches, he was transferred to the chair of the vice president in order to find a job and not stay in side. a game. In addition, Zola, like Marani, is not very familiar with the third link of Italian football, visiting (this is understandable, this is not a fault …) the elite of Italian (Marani) and international (Zola) football. Of course, you say, always better than Capotondi, who did not even know all the names of the 60 participants in the championship. Cold comfort. Here the question involuntarily arises: is our football really not capable of expressing its ruling class? Maybe even younger than 50 and at least an expert in the category they have to deal with. We don’t seem to be asking too much. However, the facts say otherwise. In D, the evergreen Giancarlo Abete (72 years old) was reborn, Gravina himself is quickly moving to 70. Indeed, as the well-known saying goes, Italy is not a country for young people…
