Lazio president and owner Claudio Lotito launched the rumour that Inter chief executive Giuseppe ‘Beppe’ Marotta wants to leave the club for various reasons according to a report in today’s print edition of La Repubblica.
The first reason is Lotito and Marotta having differing views with regard to resuming the 2019/20 Serie A season.
Lotito is accusing the big clubs in the country, including Inter, of having plotted with the smaller teams to not resume the season with only Hellas Verona, Sampdoria, Genoa, SPAL, Atalanta and Udinese backing Lotito, who wants the season to resume.
The report from the Rome based newspaper goes on to state that the second reason is that Lotito would like to see the Lega Serie A council only made up of presidents who are pumping money into clubs and he could try and get Inter chief executive Alessandro Antonello to step aside from his role.
He could be replaced by Napoli president Aurelio De Laurentiis, which would please the big clubs, or by Hellas Verona president Maurizio Setti, which would particularly please Lotito.
One veteran executive of a Serie A club told La Repubblica, “The Lega Serie A is a jungle” whilst a club president added, “I see it more like a worm.”
