The Lega Serie A recently held a meeting to elect its councilors, resulting in a new composition for the governing body. Paolo Scaroni, president of Milan, secured the highest number of votes (17), followed closely by Claudio Fenucci, CEO of Bologna, and Luca Percassi, CEO of Atalanta, both receiving 16 votes. Tommaso Giulini, president of Cagliari, garnered 15 votes, marking his return to the council after a brief hiatus.
Giulini’s reappointment signifies a notable growth for cagliari. Having previously served as a councilor in 2021, he lost his position in 2022 following Cagliari’s relegation to Serie B. His return to the Lega Serie A council underscores the club’s renewed ambition and commitment to regaining its place among Italy’s elite football teams.
In a resounding display of confidence, Luigi De Siervo was re-elected as CEO, receiving 17 votes with only 3 abstentions. This marks his third term at the helm of the Lega Serie A, following his initial election in 2018 and subsequent re-election in 2021. De Siervo’s continued leadership is expected to provide stability and direction as the league navigates the evolving landscape of Italian football.
