Furlani is actually from Milano and has been a fan of the Rossoneri his whole life, having taken up a position on the board back in 2018 when Elliott Management took control of the club, given he was working as an advisor for Elliott in London.
He spoke about his appointment as part of the statement published by the club, thanking everyone in charge for what is essentially a promotion.
“I want to thank Gerry and the RedBird team for giving me the great honour of leading the club I love as it embarks on the next phase of its revival,” he said.
“I look forward to working with Chairman Scaroni, Paolo Maldini, Stefano Pioli and the rest of the club’s leadership: together, I know that we can achieve greater success, on and off the field, in the years to come. Forza Milan!”
