Italian football faces criticism over lack of reform

An editorial critique examines the current state of Italian football as the Serie A season approaches. The commentary criticizes the lack of substantive reform within the FIGC and the tendency of sports figures to engage in rhetoric rather than practical solutions.

The text notes a shift in power dynamics within the sport, suggesting that since the Bosman ruling, influence has moved toward players and agents, often at the expense of clubs. It also highlights the alignment of Italian leadership with UEFA and FIFA, while suggesting that the removal of figures like Andrea Agnelli has diminished Italy's revolutionary influence within international football bodies.
