FIGC President Carlo Tavecchio insists the six-month UEFA ban for racist comments “makes no practical difference.”

Quote:

The chief was handed a six-month ban from committees, but can still hold meetings and attended tonight’s Italy-Azerbaijan game in Palermo.

“Am I embarrassed by the ban? I want to repeat that investigations in Italy from the Federation, the CONI and FIFA found there was no need for action,” Tavecchio told Rai Sport.

“UEFA made this decision, but it makes no practical difference to me. I haven’t missed out on anything because of the ban.

“Will Italy be marginalised because of this? I want to remind everyone that UEFA assigned Italy the Euro 2020 quarter-final and Milan the 2016 Champions League Final.”

Champions League: AC Milan director wants Euro wildcards

AC Milan director Umberto Gandini believes Champions League wildcards should be introduced to ensure some of Europe's biggest clubs do not miss out.

Currently, the Premier League top three qualify automatically, with the side in fourth entering the play-off round.

In Italy, the top two go straight into the Champions League, with third going into the play-offs.

"I think we have to look at ways of improving the Champions League," Gandini told BBC World Service.

"I would like to see opportunities for wildcards or different routes for clubs who have the ability, the prestige or the size to compete in the Champions League."

However Uefa general secretary Gianni Infantino said this week that wildcards would never happen.

Manchester United and AC Milan, past winners of the Champions League, are not competing in this season's competition after finishing seventh and eighth in their respective leagues.

"Look at Italy for example, every year you have two teams qualifying directly and one to the play-offs, but you have Juventus, Milan, Inter, Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina and Lazio trying to play for the top three spots," Gandini said.

"In England now you have Manchester United, Manchester City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool trying to qualify for the top four.

"Every year one two or three miss out and either play in the Europa League or have to go without European football."

Gandini said that revenue from European football is too important for clubs, adding: "Today we play a competition with 32 clubs, every season you have a fantastic run by underdogs who, say, get to the quarter finals. This is good for football.

"On the other hand there are more and more important clubs - important because of history and size - that miss out."

Milan is Champions League so I definitely agree that there should be "wild cards" if Milan doesn't make it

yeah might as well give wildcard to Nottingham Forest, Feyenoord, Steaua Bucharest ... since they also won European Cup before

No secret plan, no backdoor entrance, simply a personal answer to a question on potential changes in future. Rules won't change in '15-'18

It's like he feels nothing wrong about what he said. Is this idiot with middle ages attitude the best Italy can appoint?
