From today the revolution at Inter is official: Erick Thohir is the new president, while Massimo Moratti assumes the position of honorary president and his son Angelomario joins the Board of Directors as vice president. The new structure was ratified by the shareholders' meeting of the Nerazzurri company, which ratified the transfer of 70% of the shares from the Moratti family to the consortium led by the Indonesian tycoon. The new Board is made up of 8 members: five indicated by the Indonesians, three by the Morattis.
“I want to address a very special thanks to my friend and new partner Massimo Moratti for his trust and support, and I also want to thank my partners Rosan and Handy whom I have known for more than twenty years – commented Erick Thohir -. I also want to thank our families. But most of all, thanks to our fans around the world, wherever I've known them, on Twitter or in person."
After 18 years of Moratti's guidance, Thohir gained control of Inter with a capital increase reserved for International Sports Capital Hk Limited, controlled by the Indonesian tycoon and owned by teammates Rosan Roeslani and Handy Soetedjo. The share of the Moratti family, which takes on the debts, is diluted from 98 to 29,5%.
“I am very pleased to have identified the new owners of this glorious club – said Massimo Moratti at the meeting -. I'm sure they are more than prepared to continue bringing new successes to our beloved colors. Personally, I am honored to have been the president of Inter for so many years."
The new President then added that “Inter embodies a splendid history of passion, a tradition of victories and a strong ambition for success. As the unforgettable Giacinto Facchetti said 'The secret of every triumph lies in one's conviction'. Our conviction lies in our passion, which will pave the way for Inter to achieve new and important successes. Forza Inter”.
