Kirsty Coventry elected president of International Olympic Committee, Christillin comments

"A great result, 131 years after the foundation of the International Olympic Committee. I was very struck by the fact that it passed on the first ballot with an overwhelming majority, everyone wanted it. I'm sorry for my friend Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr, but the vote of Kirsty Coventry it is the demonstration that even the world of sport now has equal consideration for male and female managers and this is a good thing". So Evelina Christillin, UEFA's additional member on the FIFA Council, on Kirsty Coventry as new president of the International Olympic Committee.

Then Christillin, a Juventus fan, also comments on Motta's dismissal and Tudor's arrival: "I don't allow myself to judge, not knowing all the background. The whirlwind of coaches in recent years makes one think that there are structural problems. Giuntoli had a good project based on young people and above all the task of fixing the accounts had been entrusted to president Ferrero and CEO Scanavino, which they are doing. However, unfortunately, from September to today, the sporting project has not been realized. The numbers are merciless, the Juve he's out of everything. So maybe it's also right to change."

Temporary trust for Tudor, there is already talk of other names for next year "It's a bit heavy, but he will have thought about it. He Juventus he knows her well, he will have weighed the pros and cons, he is an all-in. We Juventus fans wish him the best." If she were the president of Juve, who would she choose? "Antonio Conte. It would be yet another return. But I have seen Antonio many times in action, even in the national team. As a motivator there is no one better than him. But other names are also extraordinary like Mancini and Gasperini. All coaches with enormous qualities, we need to see what their motivations are to accept a challenge like that".

Balance of experience as a UEFA and FIFA manager: "The mandate - he concludes - expires on April 3 with the last congress in Belgrade. It was my choice not to run again, but honestly nine years plus ten as IOC plus not very brilliant health conditions made me think that it was better this way. I wrote a letter to my colleagues, they are all sorry, affectionate and nice, but I think I did the right thing. A wonderful experience but also very difficult, just think of the pandemic, the wars, the Super League. Seeing the compact and united management of the entire UEFA front was complicated but beautiful. I certainly wasn't bored".
