The president of the Italian Olympic Committee (CONI) said on Thursday that he is "99 percent" sure that the Serie A season will restart next month following its coronavirus-enforced suspension.
"From one to 100, what do I think the chances are Serie A starts on June 13? I'd say 99 percent," Giovanni Malago told public broadcaster RAI.
"Everything is ready for a restart, to put the system in a position to begin again. However if you asked me what the chances are of the season finishing once it's begun, I'd need a crystal ball."
"These are serious people who no doubt, when placed with choosing between a restrictive or more flexible rule, want to ensure the country's protection."
