During his presence at the Italian Professional Footballers' Association Awards, Inter Milan President Marotta was interviewed by Sky Sport Italia.

Regarding today's main news, clearly, when colleagues — especially important management figures like yourself — choose to part ways, it is always a very complex moment that requires careful handling. Today, the club bids farewell to Piero Ausilio, who has worked at Inter Milan for nearly 30 years, during which time you collectively won countless awards and trophies. Here are President Marotta's comments, in which he briefly explains the fundamental reasons behind this decision.

First and foremost, the deepest and most fundamental basis for this decision is the profound respect, appreciation, and gratitude from the club and owner for Piero's 28 years of dedication to Inter Milan. What we can say is that both parties made this decision in a very friendly and consensual manner, which led them to part ways. However, the entire decision-making process was conducted with respect for professionalism, the mutual friendship we share, and his role as a close colleague of mine.

Therefore, we have great respect and gratitude for everything he has done in the past, and I truly wish him the best for his future. Since he is still young, I hope he can continue to find the satisfaction and sense of achievement that he experienced during his time as a core executive at Inter Milan.

My second question concerns the decision to entrust the leadership and responsibility of the sports department to Dario Baccin. I would like to ask whether this decision is similar to the one made last year regarding Cristian Chivu — that is, whether it is intended to reward and promote the outstanding talent developed within Inter Milan? Additionally, what are your expectations for Baccin's work in the future?

First and foremost, for us and for the club's ownership, it is an extraordinary pride and honor to be able to identify, appoint, and develop talent from within the club during moments of organizational change or succession. For a club of Inter Milan's stature, being able to do this is truly remarkable and gratifying.

We adopted this approach with Chivu last year, and this year, in replacing a high-level professional executive like Piero Ausilio, we have taken the same approach again. We have entrusted this important responsibility to one of our managers who has worked at Inter Milan for over 10 years. He knows this club inside and out, has Inter Milan's DNA flowing through his veins, and understands the values the club represents.

Therefore, we feel very confident about this. We are certain that, as an exceptional student of Piero's, he will be able to succeed his mentor with dignity and lead this very important and responsible new chapter. Of course, he is not alone; behind him stands a very solid club structure, a strong management team, and support from the club's ownership — all of whom know how to recognize and develop the outstanding talent shown and cultivated by our club both on and off the pitch.

Since Inter Milan fans are naturally very concerned about this matter, and as reporter Balzarini mentioned, this is the biggest news of the day given what Piero Ausilio represented for Inter Milan, the most pressing question is the reason behind this departure. That is, it remains unclear whether there was disagreement or conflict between him and the club's ownership regarding Ausilio's contract extension. You mentioned earlier that it was a "joint, consensual choice," but Inter Milan fans certainly want to know why such a capable, professional, and high-level executive as Ausilio is leaving Inter Milan today. President Marotta, what should we tell the Inter Milan fanbase about this?

It is natural to inquire about these specific circumstances, as this matter truly concerns us all. Piero will be with us tonight as well; I have spent the entire day with him today. Is his relationship with the owner very good? Of course, 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 and take a break. Or maybe they also want to make their own decisions — it could be said that this was a choice made by him and a choice made by us, but both parties reached this consensus in a very harmonious and respectful manner.

Furthermore, I reiterate that I believe it is not appropriate to dig too deeply into the specific details of this matter, because this is a very positive, indeed beautiful, internal management dynamic of our club, conducted by people who trust and respect each other, and that is what matters most.
