On Friday via the official website, Milan have confirmed that Calvelli is Furlani’s replacement and there is no mention of it being an interim solution, something that was floated as an idea by various journalists a month ago.
The statement adds: “Calvelli brings extensive international leadership experience across global sports, with deep expertise in building and scaling world class sports organizations and commercial platforms.
“In addition to his role as CEO of AC Milan, Calvelli will continue as CEO International at RedBird Development Group and Operating Partner at RedBird Capital Partners.
“This appointment reflects RedBird’s distinctive model, combining long-term investment ownership with embedded operating expertise to accelerate execution.”
Prior to joining RedBird, Calvelli served as Chief Executive Officer of the ATP from 2020 to 2025, leading a period of significant global transformation for men’s professional tennis.
Earlier in his career, he held international leadership roles at Nike, Wilson Sporting Goods and Amer Sports. Calvelli began his career as a professional athlete.
