FIGC commissioner Giovanni Malagò spoke about Italy winning a fifth World Cup and about his family's history with Roma. Speaking to Il Mattino, Malagò said that a fifth title would make Italy the most decorated national team in history.
Fifth World Cup ambition
Malagò, the FIGC commissioner, told Il Mattino: "Our country produces talent in many disciplines. It is an asset we must make the most of. We must complete the circle. If we won a fifth World Cup, Italy would become the most decorated national team in history. Dreaming costs nothing."
Family ties to Roma
On supporting Roma, Malagò said: "I do not disown my family's history. My father was a board member and then three times vice-president of Roma , contributing to two Serie A titles with Dino Viola and Franco Sensi. As a child, I used to go with him to the stadium: I don't see why I should hide my allegiance . I find that hypocritical."
Impartiality in office
Malagò said: "But when I take on an official role, allegiances give way to impartiality."
