FIGC president Carlo Tavecchio has resigned.
Tavecchio was forced to make the decision after Italy's World Cup failure last week.
“I'm sorry," he told his fellow councillors.
“I'm leaving because I failed. I apologise to all Italians. Now's the time for Italian football to embark on a new era and not just the usual round of armchairs.
“Political ambitions and profiteering prevented us from confronting the reasons for this outcome, and I've taken note of the change in attitude from some of you."
