Source: Forza Roma

Giovanni Malagò has been elected as the new president of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC), succeeding Gabriele Gravina following recent failures in World Cup qualification. Malagò was elected by the federation's assembly with 343,084 votes, representing 68.58% of the ballots cast. The election took place at the Rome Cavalieri hotel. AS Roma was represented at the assembly by Chief Financial Officer Jason Morrow, and the club subsequently offered public congratulations to Malagò on social media, stating: "AS Roma congratulates Giovanni Malagò on his appointment as new President of the Italian Football Federation."

Malagò, born in Rome on 13 March 1959, is known as a Roma supporter and becomes the 48th president in federation history. He previously served as president of the CONI (Italian Olympic Committee) from 2013 to 2025 and recently oversaw the Fondazione that organized the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics. He has been a member of the International Olympic Committee since 2019.

Malagò's immediate priorities include appointing a technical director and a head coach, with details of recruitment remaining unclear at this stage.

Roma shift focus to left-back as Fofana deal stalls; Henrique in crosshairs

Roma's transfer priorities have shifted following the completion of Rodrigo Mora's signing. The club is now concentrating efforts on the left-back position and has deprioritised other targets, according to reports from Fabrizio Romano and Matteo Moretto. Interest in Malick Fofana has cooled considerably. Roma had an agreement in place with the Belgian winger but has not given Lyon the go-ahead to negotiate further. A proposed deal worth €35 million plus add-ons was deemed excessive by the club. After restructuring the terms to bring Mora to the capital, the Fofana operation has been sidelined. Similarly, pressure on Alessio Cacciamani has been relaxed as Roma refocus their efforts elsewhere. Luis Henrique has become the priority target, with Roma now pressing hard on that front. The challenge now is to find agreement on the financial terms between player and club.
