Former prime minister Joseph Muscat could be heading the Malta Professional Football Clubs Association after his name was put into the ring.
Comprising 14 clubs from the island’s top-tier football league, the association was formed last year to represent premier league clubs. Members met yesterday afternoon to discuss the former PM’s possible appointment to head the association.
This follows Santa Lucija President Robert Micallef stepping down from the post. Around two-thirds of the clubs voted in favour, whereas other clubs, including Valletta, cited Muscat’s controversial political history.
Those in favour argued that he would elevate the MPFCA’s profile through his contacts and negotiation skills. Times of Malta revealed that MPFCA members want to move away from having the association led by a club president and instead pick someone external to the clubs.
