Inter president Steven Zhang is set for his first Milan derby up against the founder of AC Milan’s new ownership group, RedBird Capital Group, according to a report in the Italian print media today.
As has been reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport, it will be the first time that the two sides have faced each other since it was confirmed that RedBird will be taking over the club from Elliott Management.
That means there will be the first handshake between Steven Zhang and Gerry Cardinale in the setting of a battle between their two teams.
The confirmation this week of RedBird and their partners taking charge of the Rossoneri can be good news for Inter as there will be fewer delays when it comes to discussing the new stadium.
Both of the executives will be desperate to begin this new era with a win and some more all-important points in the league table.
