President Carlo Tavecchio confirms the FIGC will wait for the verdict of the Federal Court before deciding if Marcello Lippi will be technical director.
The legendary Coach, who won the World Cup for the Azzurri in 2006, had been widely expected to take up the newly-created role.
However, it today emerged that the face his son, Davide, is an agent could cause problems, as it would present a conflict of interest.

Earlier today, Giancarlo Abete revealed that a decision would be made by the FIGC court, and Tavecchio reiterated that this evening.
“We have to wait and see if he’s compatible,” Tavecchio confirmed when asked about Lippi.
“When the Federal Court gives us an answer, we’ll make our final decision. It’s not just about Lippi, but more the general setup.”
