It’s a historical day in Milan, the end of the Berlusconi’s Era and the start of the new Li Yonghong’s Era on Friday 14 April 2017.

As reported by AC Milan official website, Li Yonghong‘s era started at 11 am CEST with the press conference held at Casa Milan. The new President spoke first about his initial emotions and wanted to thank Silvio Berlusconi and the former management who contributed so much to the history of AC Milan.

AC Milan Tickets“Dear and honoured guests, ladies and gentlemen, AC Milan fans. Today we celebrate a very important moment for each and every AC Milan fan. On this day, Rossoneri Sport Investment Lux has completed the purchase of the stake in AC Milan. Today we celebrate the start of a new chapter in the history of this glorious club. The success of this transition was made possible by all the efforts and the passion of all our partners. But above all, I want to show my sincere gratitude to Silvio Berlusconi and Fininvest for the trust they always had in us. Over the past 30 years, AC Milan have won many trophies: 8 Serie A titles, 5 Champions Leagues and 7 Italian Supercups. Considering all the top players who have played in this team and all the victories of the past years, the fans are hoping to see the Club back at the top of European football once again. The future board of directors and the future management will be made up of specialists in finance and business. The management will be stable and efficient. We will support our professionals in carrying out their functions. A few months ago, we linked up with Marco Fassone. Marco has contributed in an exceptional way in outlining the future development of AC Milan. For this reason, we believe he is the best possible manager to become the club’s CEO. I believe in Marco Fassone and I am sure that his team will give AC Milan the opportunity to achieve great results and bring the club back to the top of the world of football. We want our fans throughout the world to continue loving their favourite team, this is our objective. This is what every Red and Black fan should do. Thank you, FORZA MILAN!”.

After the President’s words, it was time for the new CEO, Marco Fassone, to answer the questions of the press. These were his words.
