“Under our leadership, Inter is building toward a new period of glory. This explosion is the symbol of the maturity of a progressively improved management team, as their skills have considerably improved.”

He concluded by revealing what Suning’s ultimate goal for Inter is.

“I hope that we can continue working like this and work even harder and go further and further, fulfilling our promise to return to the top of the Champions League.”
