Ivan Gazidis returned to Italy after spending a few months in the United States being treated for the throat cancer which he has diagnosed with.
The club CEO is finally back to Milano and has shared his words to the AC Milan employees. Here are his words, as provided by Milannews:
"Dear Colleagues,
As some of you may know, I have just returned to Milan to continue my journey towards healing.
I want to tell you that it is a real pleasure and a relief to finally return to the city that is truly my home, although The incredible support and affection received in recent weeks has never made me feel really far away.
I am also happy to have managed to respect my professional duties during this period of very delicate and demanding treatments and care, above all thanks to your commitment and contribution. It filled us with pride to see the continued progress made, on and off the pitch.
Now I will entrust my convalescence to the expert hands of the incredible IEO (medical team) here in Milan. Although there will still be a long way to go to get to full recovery, I remain absolutely confident, and I am convinced that we will soon be able to meet again in person. In the meantime, we are identifying a date in the coming weeks to virtually meet again in a Town Hall, to be able to greet you all and talk to each other directly, after this period of distance.
Always Forza Milan,
Ivan."
