MILAN – Luigi De Siervo was re-elected CEO of the Lega Serie A: in the assembly he obtained 17 votes in favor with three blank ballots. Already voted CEO of the Lega Serie A in 2018 and confirmed in 2021, Luigi De Siervo has been a lawyer since 1994. Before his role in the League, he was the manager responsible for Rai Trade in the TV Marketing, Home Video and Thematic Channels sector (2008-2010) . Subsequently, until 2014 he held the role of commercial director of Rai and from July 2014 of CEO of Rai Com. Subsequently, he held the role of CEO of Infront Italy, a company engaged in the production, purchase and sale of TV programs in Italy and abroad. “There is a climate of unity that hasn’t been seen for a long time, and this will allow us to work in the best possible way. The changes in ownership taking place among Serie A clubs require ever-increasing professionalization of those who manage the League,” said De Siervo.
Four councilors chosen
The Serie A club assembly also elected the League’s four councilors. They are the president of Milan Paolo Scaroni, who collected 17 preferences, the CEO of Bologna Claudio Fenucci, chosen with 16 votes, the CEO of Atalanta Luca Percassi, again with 16 votes, and the president of Cagliari, Tommaso Giulini , with 15 preferences. In practice, compared to the outgoing board, Fenucci replaced Maurizio Setti, president of Hellas Verona. Percassi will also be vice president. The sixty-year-old manager Lamberto Tacoli, president of Perini Navi Spa and senior advisor of The Italia Sea Group, was elected as independent advisor.
Abodi: “De Siervo la persona giusta”
“Has football” is the comment of sports minister Andrea Abodi “has it defined all the roles with the confirmation of Serie A CEO Luigi De Siervo? I hope that the commitment to reaping the fruits will also be dedicated. The industrial component must take steps forward. De Siervo is the right person. We need to go and conquer the world not in traditional ways, but go to customers, use the platforms and use Serie A as a means of promotion with alliances both in Italy and abroad, we need to operate at a system level, and go and make alliances with the championships that are more similar to ours, such as Spain, Germany and France, and I am convinced that De Siervo with his structure will make the most of these four years, to build a path parallel to the sporting one. We will do our part.”
Simonelli: “We need a tax bonus for nurseries”
Having completed the definition of governance, the president of the Serie A League Ezio Simonelli declared: “An urgent need is the introduction of a tax bonus for youth clubs, in order to support the youth sectors and return to having a winning national team, like the one that won the World Cup in 2006. We will then talk about the Growth decree and the Dignity decree.” He spoke about Gabriele Gravina, outgoing president of the FIGC seeking re-election: “I perceive unity of purpose with him.” Finally, he returned to talk about the controversies that accompanied his election, after the Milan court rejected an appeal against his election presented by the independent councilor Blandini, close to the former president Casini and the Lazio president Lotito: “I perceived a serene climate. De Laurentiis called me from Los Angeles and Lotito demonstrated a collaborative attitude. I will be the president of everyone.”
