AC Milan Names Massimo Calvelli as CEO as It Goes 'in House' in Bid to Restore Winning Culture
The former ATP chief will keep his RedBird roles as the club seeks a reset after missing Champions League qualification.
- On Friday, AC Milan named Massimo Calvelli as chief executive officer to bring a winning culture back to the club. Calvelli, a former ATP CEO, replaces Giorgio Furlani.
- U.S. owner RedBird Capital Partners fired Furlani last month as it cleaned house after deeming the previous season an "unequivocal failure." The 51-year-old Calvelli now leads the restructuring effort.
- Milan missed Champions League qualification after winning only two of their last eight matches, prompting the dismissal of coach Massimiliano Allegri. Amorim replaced Allegri earlier this month.
- Calvelli said his mandate from Gerry Cardinale is to bring "a culture of winning and results both on and off the field" with "profound sense of urgency." He has spent a full year assessing the club's needs.
- RedBird managing partner Gerry Cardinale stated the organization will "benefit tremendously" from the appointment. Calvelli will continue serving as CEO International and Operating Partner at RedBird Development Group.
