(ANSA) – PALERMO, 04 JUL – “I am proud, happy and moved. I realized the wish I had three years ago: to give Palermo in the best possible hands, the City Football Group is the best for me and not so much for the aspects economic, but because it will give us a better organization. The club will have a safe future. ” This was stated by the president of Palermo, Dario Mirri, introducing the CEO of the City Football Group, Ferran Soriano (former CEO of Manchester City), in the press conference to present the agreement that saw the entry of Mansour’s group with the 80% of the shares in the corporate structure of the rosanero club. The remaining 20% remains in the hands of Dario Mirri who will remain president. “We are here with all the management of the group – said Soriano – we know the history of the club and the city. For us this is a fantastic job opportunity, the one carried out by Mirri since Serie D has been impressive. Our goal is ambitious: with patience, work and humility we want to bring the team back to where it deserves, that is to say in Serie A, but it really takes a lot of work. Our goal for next season is to consolidate the team in Serie B and if there is the possibility to aim immediately to the promotion in Serie A “.
The delegation of the managers of the City Football Group, led by the CEO Soriano, arrived at the Barbera stadium at 10.55 am and was welcomed by around 300 fans. Then, the executives went to the field for the usual photos, then to the press conference. (HANDLE).
