GdS: Cardinale a surprise presence at Lega Serie A meeting – the reasons

Today, a meeting was held involving the Serie A leaders, which is a regularity. Nevertheless, there was a surprise visit from AC Milan’s chairman, Gerry Cardinale. 

His last visit to Milano only lasted a day, due to his involvement in meetings for the European NBA league. However, after yesterday’s visit to the training ground, Cardinale has remained in Italy and was at a meeting involving several Serie A clubs.

Cardinale’s involvement in Serie A meeting

As Gazzetta dello Sport reports, Paolo Scaroni was present throughout the day, for what was described as a ‘particularly attentive assembly’ after the events of Inter vs. Juventus from the weekend.

Then, towards the end of the meeting, Cardinale arrived and stayed for around 30 minutes with the other leaders of different clubs. His involvement in the meeting itself is unknown, but Ezio Simonelli spoke after its conclusion and stated the following to Gazzetta.

“It was the first time that Cardinale came to the League, and we were very pleased.

“We had the opportunity to talk a little, together with De Siervo and Scaroni, about what could be the developments and activities that the League, also thanks to Cardinale, could do in the United States. As you know, among his participations, he also has CBS, which is a very important channel.”

It will certainly be interesting if Cardinale becomes a key player for the league in America.
