Morace follow up-Commissioner to the rescue?

Mario Rimati

The commissioner extraordinaire of the Italian FA (the FA has been without its president for quite some time now, a frustrating situation which has irked some FIFA officials).

Gianni Petrucci (president of the Italian Olympic Committee) has said the following regarding the Morace affair: “We can’t go on like this. Something needs to be doneî.

Apparently, the squabbles between Ms. Morace and Mrs. Levati, the president of the Womenís Soccer Division, has put the FA under a bad light. In order to clear the air both have been asked to show up at FA headquarters next Friday to explain the apparent breakdown in relations.
