The Rossoneri have yet to announce Gazidis’ move to the club but an official announcement is expected to be released shortly.

This means that the Rossoneri are now going to be presided by Paolo Scaroni, while Gazidis will be the CEO, Leonardo the general manager and Paolo Maldini the technical manager.

The Rossoneri have had an interesting year, the enormous loan undertaken by Li resulting in the Elliott Fund taking control of the Rossoneri and replacing Marco Fassone and Massimiliano Mirabelli.
