Do you agree with the Lazio President or Alasdair Mackenzie's blog, Lotito and Tare humiliated again?
Lotito is backing FIGC Presidential candidate Carlo Tavecchio for urgent reforms.
“We need to cut Serie A back to 18 teams as soon as possible, both to aid organisation and finances. We must create synergy.
“Let’s not forget Tavecchio’s experience, which is united with my philosophy.”

“There is no hostility with Agnelli,” assured Lotito. “We have two different philosophies and the collective interest prevailed.”
