Inter Milan President Describes Serie A As ‘Football’s Driving Force’, Underlines Need For Communication Within FIGC Inter Milan president Beppe Marotta has issued a stark assessment of the current state of Italian football, calling for structural reform and a more unified approach between governing bodies. Speaking to DAZN in an interview, via FCInterNews , Marotta reflected on the struggles of the Italian game over the past two decades. He pointed to a steady decline in quality at national team level, suggesting the issues run far deeper than coaching or leadership changes.
“There has been a clear drop in values and quality since 2006,” Marotta said. “You can change coaches and presidents, but today the product is this. We must improve it significantly.
” The Inter president warned that any meaningful recovery will require patience and long-term planning rather than quick fixes. “It won’t take just one year,” he added. “At the very least, it will take four or five years.
” Marotta also addressed the broader governance of Italian football, particularly the relationship between Serie A and the FIGC. Inter Milan President Marotta: ‘Serie A The Driving Force Of Football’ Amid ongoing discussions about leadership and direction, he stressed the importance of recognising the league’s central role. “Serie A has expressed its view,” he explained.
“Before the individual, I believe the priority is the role of Serie A, which is the driving force of football and must be listened to more. ” He went on to underline the need for better communication and alignment between football institutions and the political sphere, warning against internal conflict at a time when cohesion is essential. “I don’t want there to be strong opposition with the world of politics,” Marotta said.
