Demetrio Albertini has met with Olympic Committee chief Giovanni Malago this morning, and believes it right he challenges Carlo Tavecchio.
The former Milan midfielder is going up against the 71-year-old in the race for the FIGC President post, which will be voted on next month.
Tavecchio had been seen as the clear favourite, but after he was heard making a racist remark at the weekend, the playing field has levelled out somewhat.
The 42-year-old though, has claimed that he is happy to go toe-to-toe with the septuagenarian.
“[Malago and I] have not talked hypothetically about the FIGC presidency,” he told ANSA.
“I reiterated to him that at this time there is no need for that given there are two candidates for the job.
“I think it’s right that [Tavecchio] moves forward.”
