Overview
- Adriano Galliani filed a formal appeal at the federal tribunal against the candidacy‑verification commission set up by commissioner Giovanni Malagò, arguing the panel lacks competence to rule on some submissions.
- The complaint cites conflicting documentation from Genoa — an initial signature in support of Galliani followed by a later PEC of revocation by the club owner — as a key reason to question the commission’s authority.
- Roberto Mancini has refreshed the Italy squad with young first‑time call‑ups Alphadjo Cisse and Mattia Liberali and added Matteo Palma after FIFA approved his change of sporting nationality.
- Nicolò Zaniolo left the Coverciano training camp for personal reasons and requested privacy, while Mancini’s likely starting XI emphasizes trusted midfielders such as Barella and Davide Frattesi.
- On the domestic front Lazio sit top of Serie A after eleven rounds, Juventus remain without any awarded penalties so far this season, and Sampdoria have shown short‑term recovery under Luca D’Angelo as transfer chatter (including Piero Ausilio’s disclosure of Juventus’ interest in Frattesi) continues to shape club plans.
