Italian football is dead - former Juventus chief Luciano Moggi
Moggi has relaunched his attack on the FIGC...
By Salvatore Landolina
Former Juventus director Luciano Moggi has accused FIGC president Giancarlo Abete of "killing Italian football" as he launches a sharp sting on the powers that be.
His attack follows on from Inter striker Mario Balotelli's agent Mino Raiola, who claimed Abete should resign from his post at the helm of the Calcio tree.
He even claimed Balotelli would boycott Serie A because of measures Abete introduced which limits foreign transfers.
And Moggi has taken his argument even deeper in his Tuttomercatoweb.com comment column.
"Shooting at Abete now would be like taking the last brick away from a house that has fallen," Moggi blasted.
"Italian football is rebelling against absurd decisions from one man that is slowly killing our football.
"Euro 2012, Euro 2016, [Sepp] Blatter that gives the World Cup presentation to [Patrick] Vieira, [Roberto] Donadoni's flop at the Euro 2008, failure in South Africa. Is that not enough? No.
"We also had to add the fact that we changed coach of the national team while one was still in position. These were suicidal and illogical strategies.
"Italian football has had enough of Abete, not me who is in the past, but the football league and its 20 presidents. Someone please save us."
