According to multiple reports in Italy, Lega Serie A President Paolo Dal Pino will resign today for personal reasons.
Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com report will confirm his resignation today with a formal letter to the FIGC.
Dal Pino moved to the USA with his family before Christmas and plans to remain overseas where his son is going to school. Therefore, he will step down from his role.
The 59-year-old was named Lega Serie A President in January 2020.
This is the clown that made Serie A a joke?
Good riddance. Now for the next clown…
I miss Juventus in Serie B can you give your reasons? I might be in agreement.
One thing that has died, especially in recent years is the Sunday afternoon kick-offs. Now you have games going on even on Monday night’s. Some of these people are serious tradition killers & certainly not football men.
Without a doubt they do not have calcio in their heart (and most of the time in their head)
I know this is not just this individual, football is now full of incompetence all over.
They have no respect for the traditions of the game or for it’s heart, the people
@Morgan Dove – the scrapping of the Sunday afternoon fixtures will have been ‘decided’ by the TV companies and there is not much the Lega can do about it as TV pays for the football – as it does in all the European leagues. Without TV money, Serie A would be in an even more parlous condition than it currently finds itself.
Traditions are meaningless anyway; smoking and drinking used to be football ‘traditions’ (in the stadiums and the dressing rooms) The modern game is a global export – therefore it has to be accessible to ‘the consumer’. Which means not having the bulk of games kicking off simultaneously but rather staggered to maximise the exposure of the ‘product’. If Serie A returned to the ‘traditional’ kick off schedule, TV would walk away. And that wouldn’t really be sustainable for Italian football.
feroli, point taken. I can only believe that your Italian tifosi is at the back of these people’s minds, if he even exists at all. I would think that your typical tifosi would prefer an old-fashioned Sunday afternoon kick-off to a Monday night. Real supporters don’t count.
An important point here also because this is a league gone soft – if a team plays on Thursday, especially a European fixture away, their next league game gets put back to Sunday evening or even Monday evening. This is modern day footballers requiring a little more rest. This didn’t happen only a few years ago. It’s a joke to the old school.
And it’s obvious to notice there is no consistency with the Sunday afternoon games. For example one week you can have one 14:00 game, the next possibly a maximum of three.
In Spain there was protests at Monday night games I remember before the virus.
Also Germany is still pretty traditional from this sense with the majority of games kicking off at the usual time slot
As I said these are not football people, it’s every man for himself now more than ever. These people are neglecting the game and all it’s old rules and standards.
I fear for the future of calcio.
This is a one way juggernaut.
Something has to give, calcio will not survive.
Serie A as we know it will be gone forever
