Lazio Chairman Claudio Lotito has
said that he has changed his mind about running to be the new
president of the Italian Soccer Federation (FIGC).
Carlo Tavecchio quit as president last year in the aftermath
of Italy's failure to qualify for this summer's World Cup in
Russia.
"I had been convinced to take the field but there would be
too many consequences for my club and I don't want that," Lotito
said.
The candidates in the running are Damiano Tommasi, the head
of the Italian professional footballers association, Cosimo
Sibilia and Gabriele Gravina, respectively the heads of the
national amateur league and the Lego Pro lower tier
championships.
