Sport and health, Sabelli leaves: "Less fundamental assumptions have come"

Sport reform continues to have no peace. Rocco Sabelli, the man strongly backed by Giancarlo Giorgetti, leaves the double role of president and sports and health after just eight months. The company, born by the express will of the former Minister of Sports of the government of Rome, which had caused so much controversy with Coni president Giovanni Malagò, is therefore without a guide. The reasons, as always happens in these cases, are all political. To make the ex-decision of the former CEO of Alitalia and Piaggio take an article inserted in the draft of the Milleproroghe decree where, in fact, its powers are halved. The law in fact provides for the separation of the offices of president, entrusted to the MEF, and that of managing director, currently both owned by Sabelli. In addition, a revision of the company's own organization chart is envisaged with members who would pass from three plus one (the councilor appointed by Coni) to five plus one. Wider governance that inevitably reduces the manager's room for maneuver. Added to this is the feeling never born between Sabelli himself and Minister Spadafora. In his farewell note, in fact the former head of Sport and Health emphasizes not only "the failure of the fundamental assumptions that led me to offer my availability" but also the harmony "never born and I believe, hardly possible in the future" with the new head of Sport "for obvious and experienced differences in culture, language and methods". Spadafora, for its part, prefers not to take up the controversy by thanking Sabelli "for the work done" and ensuring the continuation of the Sport reform "with balance, sharing and effectiveness, to complete the commitments made so far". Techniques that cover much more practical aspects. If Giorgetti had in Sabelli the 'praetorian' to take over the reins of the world of sport Spadafora, on the other hand, took a more secular approach, inviting two contenders, Malagò and Sabelli, to lay down their arms and look for more collaboration. A message that, also retracing the latest statements made by the Minister at the Collari d'Oro, was better understood by the number one of CONI than the counterpart of Sport and Health. In the most difficult moment Malagò decided to hold on while Sabelli preferred to leave the stage.
