At the awards ceremony of the Italian Professional Footballers' Association, Inter Milan President Marotta was interviewed by Sky Sport Italia.

Regarding today's major news, it is clear that when colleagues—especially senior executives of clubs like yourselves—decide to part ways, it is always a very delicate moment requiring careful handling. Today, the club has parted ways with Piero Ausilio, who has worked at Inter for nearly 30 years. During that time, together we won many titles and trophies. Below are President Marotta's comments, in which he will briefly explain the underlying reasons for this decision.

First and foremost, the deepest and most fundamental basis for this decision is the club and owner's respect, appreciation, and profound gratitude for Piero's 28 years of dedication to Inter. What we can say is that both sides made this decision in a very amicable manner with mutual agreement, leading to their paths diverging. However, the entire decision-making process was conducted with complete respect for professionalism, deep friendship between us, and considering him as my close colleague.

Therefore, we hold immense respect and gratitude for everything he has done in the past, and I genuinely wish him all the best for his future. Because he is still young, and I hope he can continue to find satisfaction and a sense of great achievement in the future as he did during his time as key executive director at Inter.

My second question concerns the decision to entrust leadership and management responsibility of the current sports department to Dario Baccin. I want to ask whether this decision is in any way similar to the decision made last year regarding Cristian Chivu? That is, is it aimed at rewarding and promoting outstanding talent developed within Inter? Furthermore, what hopes and expectations do you have for Baccin's future work?

First, for us and for the club's owner, being able to identify, appoint, and develop talent directly from within the club during a period of organizational change or transition is truly a source of great pride and honor. For a major club like Inter Milan, being able to do this is truly remarkable and wonderful.

We applied this approach with Chivu last year, and this year, when replacing a highly capable professional executive director like Piero Ausilio, we continue to apply the same method. We have entrusted this important responsibility to one of our managers who has worked at Inter for over 10 years, who knows this club very well, who has Inter's DNA flowing through his veins, and who deeply understands the values the club represents.

Therefore, we feel very confident and comfortable about this. We believe that, as an outstanding student of Piero's, he will be able to succeed his mentor worthily and excellently on this important and responsible new journey. Of course, he is not alone; behind him is an extremely solid structure of the club, a strong management team, and the support of the club's owner. Everyone knows how to appreciate and value the outstanding talents our club has demonstrated and nurtured both on and off the pitch.

Since Inter Milan fans are naturally very concerned about this matter, and as reporter Balzarini mentioned at the scene, this is today's most important and focal news. Given Piero Ausilio's symbolic importance to Inter, what everyone most urgently wants to understand is the reason. That is, I am still not entirely clear whether there was any disagreement or conflict between him and the club's owner regarding Ausilio's contract renewal. You mentioned earlier that this was a "mutually agreed decision," but Inter fans certainly want to know why a talented, professional, and senior executive director like Ausilio is leaving Inter Milan today. President Marotta, what should we tell the Inter fans about this?

It is understandable to delve into these specific details, as these matters truly concern all of us. Piero will also be with us tonight; I spent the entire day with him today. Is his relationship with the owner good? Absolutely, his relationship with me and all of us is very good.

I want to reiterate that after such a long career, perhaps someone wants to prove themselves elsewhere, take on new challenges, or perhaps they also want to rest a bit, take a break. Or perhaps they also want to make their own decision—one could say this is a choice from his side, and also a choice from our side, but both sides reached this agreement in a very harmonious and extremely respectful manner.

Moreover, I would like to reiterate that I believe going too deeply into these specific details is inappropriate, because these are very positive internal management dynamics, and one could say they are very constructive and beneficial within our club, conducted by people who trust and respect each other. That is truly what matters most.
