Italian economist Sapelli says contacted about premiership

MILAN (Reuters) - An economics professor at a Milan University, Giulio Sapelli, said on Monday he had been contacted by the leaders of the 5-Star Movement and the League about becoming the head of a coalition government.

"I've been contacted by both parties to become prime minister, and I told them I was available," Sapelli told Reuters. "I gave them one condition, that Domenico Siniscalco be economy minister."
