The presidential candidate of the Italian Football Federation apologized for the banana improvisation

The candidate for the president of the Italian Football Federation Carlo Tacacio called his statements about African players for whom he accused of racism, an unsuccessful impromptu.

Last week, the functionary, comparing with the arrival of legionnaires to English and Italian clubs, made offensive expressions to African football players with the mention of bananas .

FIFA later sent a letter to the Italian Football Federation, asking to investigate the incident and make a decision on it.

“For the twentieth time I apologize for that unsuccessful phrase,” Carlo Football Italia quotes. “These were unsuccessful words during the speech that I made an impromptu without preparation.”

Tacvekio, who heads the National Amateur League, is considered a favorite for the presidency, who became vacant after the departure of Dzhancarlo Abite . His rival is the known in the past Milan's midfielder and Italy national team Demetrio Albertini.
