AC Milan names Massimo Calvelli as CEO as it goes "in house" in bid to restore winning culture‎

AC Milan named Massimo Calvelli as chief executive officer on Friday in a bid to “bring a winning culture” back to the club. The 51-year-old Calvelli replaces Giorgio Furlani, who was fired by U.S. owner, RedBird Capital Partners, last month as it cleaned house after what it deemed “an unequivocal failure” of a season. “The mandate is clear — we will play to win, instead of playing not to lose — in everything that AC Milan touches, but most importantly on the field,” RedBird managing partner Gerry Cardinale said in a statement.
