Despite his role in the failed European Super League last week, Inter CEO Beppe Marotta is not yet expected to be removed from his position on the Lega Serie A assembly.
Alongside AC Milan and Juventus, Inter were one of the 12 founder members of the proposed breakaway league, before it fell apart in midweek, leading to widespread condemnation of the clubs involved.
As reported in today’s newspaper edition of Corriere della Sera, the Lega Assembly met yesterday and Marotta and Milan counterpart Paolo Scaroni bore the brunt of the anger from other Serie A clubs, with Juventus patron Andrea Agnelli absent.
However, demands for resignations were not on the agenda and Fiorentina representative Joe Barone sought to move the discussions on, despite protests from Massimo Ferrero, Enrico Preziosi and Guido Fienga, of Sampdora, Genoa and Roma respectively.
Unlike in the Premier League, where the CEO’s of the six breakaway clubs, (Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Manchester United, and Tottenham Hotspur) were not invited to an assembly meeting, any action in Serie A will be discussed at a later date.
Meanwhile, Serie A President Paolo Dal Pino reiterated his intention to remain in post despite criticism from seven clubs, with Inter joined by Juventus, Napoli, Lazio, Fiorentina, Atalanta, and Hellas Verona.
