Cosmi demands change

Former Udinese coach Serse Cosmi hopes that the championship will only start again after something is done to really change the system.

The tactician isn’t sure that the suspension of all footballing activities decided by the FIGC and CONI after the death of a policeman on Friday is enough.

"We mustn’t make the same mistakes we made after the Calciopoli scandal last summer," said Cosmi in a radio interview.

"What happened was very serious, but it seems it might not be enough to stop the system," added the ex-Perugia tactician.

"I think that the championship should start again only when we understand what needs to be done next, otherwise this will all be useless."

Football is one of the most important industries in Italy and many think that the activities should resume as soon as possible, but Cosmi believes that the situation is serious and that the next decisions cannot be driven by money.

"Everything is done in the name of business, but that cannot work, normal people have been driven away from the stadiums.

"The important thing is not when the matches will resume, now is the time to discuss together and find a solution.

"I am not sure that the clubs can manage the stadiums directly, they have already proved that it’s difficult. In any case, the Italian sides must honour the European competitions, we are all guilty but we have to look ahead."

The FIGC and CONI will meet on Monday afternoon to discuss when the matches should resume and Interior Minister Giuliano Amato will address Parliament on Tuesday.
