Lazio president Claudio Lotito has rubbished reports he's a big influence on FIGC supremo Carlo Tavecchio.
Tavecchio has been hit with a UEFA ban for comments on Italian immigration.
"I am not the most powerful man in Italian football. I am at the service and the disposal of the sport," insisted Lotito.
"It's not true to suggest I am pulling the strings behind Tavecchio. I travel with the Italy squad because I am a Federal counsellor and therefore I am authorised to do so.
"People envy me because I come from nothing, I am successful and cultured. Agnelli comes to the Lega meetings with spokesmen, directors and lawyers. I arrive on my own, so how come? I never lived off someone else's money, unlike others."
