I WON'T BE FIGC COMMISSIONER-FRANCO



 



Franco Carraro is willing to offer advice and experience to the Federazione Italiana Giuoco Calcio after Tavecchio step down.

Carraro stepped down as President of the Italian FA after the Calciopoli scandal in 2006, but the resignation of Carlo Tavecchio this week led some, including Napoli President Aurelio De Laurentiis to suggest Carraro could return but the man himself has ruled that out.

“I thank De Laurentiis, and I’m very grateful for his words,” Carraro said on Radio Crc”.

“Not just for what he said, but because in 2004 he took Napoli in a very complicated condition”.

“Napoli fans were angry with me [after they went bankrupt and were demoted], but I hope they realised over time that I was acting in good faith and following the rules”.

“Could I replace Tavecchio? I think it needs a renewal of the leaders, and if anyone asks me to lend a hand and make my experience available to them then so be it”.



“I have a long past but I can’t have a future, I’ll make my ideas available though. If people think I can offer my advice and experience, great, but I stop there. I won’t be commissioner of the Federation”.

LEICESTER CITY APPOINT CLAUDE PUEL Leicester City have appointed the former Southampton coach Claude Puel as their manager following last week’s   dismissal of Craig Shakespeare . He has signed a contract until June Leicester interviewed several candidates for the position that has been held on a temporary basis for the past two matches by Michael Appleton, who will revert to his assistant’s role. Puel will be unveiled on Friday and will take charge of Sunday’s home match against Everton.
