In addition to making his statements upon his arrival to the board of Oxford United in League One, the third tier of English football, Erick Thohir made a quick statement on the Inter Presidency, which is now a role that belongs to Steven Zhang. Tribunnews.com reports that the statements made by Erick Thohir were as follows:
“I am sure that the role of Inter president will be better managed by my partner. He [Steven Zhang] was the best choice. I will take care of the mandate to manage Joko Widodo’s electoral campaign.”
Erick Thohir bought a majority stake at Inter from Massimo Moratti in 2013, helping the Nerazzurri improve their financial situation and global outreach before selling part of his stake to Suning in 2016. Thanks to the hard work that was done by both groups of businessmen, Inter has been able to slowly climb back up to the top where they belong .
