AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis, gave an interesting and insightful lengthy interview with Grant Wahl for the “Fútbol” podcast. You can read the full transcript here.
The manager was asked on why he chose to join AC Milan's management staff assembled by Elliott. Here is what had to say:
“I have been a football fan and fan since childhood. My generation grew up knowing well what Milan is. This great team with an incredible European history, winner of 7 Champions League. Not “just” an Italian team but a truly international club. To date, Milan has five hundred and thirty million fans around the world, one of the largest clubs in the world. But the club went through a really tough 7-8 years for one reason or another, performance has never been at a high level. For me, I think this is a unique opportunity: in football there is probably no club of this importance that with the right work and the right ideas can be brought back to the glories of the past. I found it to be a very intriguing professional challenge, something that doesn’t happen to you every day and I felt it was really worth accepting it.”
