Since taking control of Inter Milan, Oaktree Capital Management has been conducting a thorough review of the club’s finances. The American investment firm has been holding regular meetings with various departments to gather information and evaluate the work done prior to the ownership change.
Calciomercato report how Oaktree’s intention is to manage Inter according to its own corporate governance principles, which is expected to lead to significant changes in the coming months. Sources suggest that there could be a major restructuring of executive roles, affecting several top positions within the club.
The board of directors meeting to approve the financial statements is expected by the end of September. This meeting could also serve as an opportunity to announce some structural modifications to the club. Within a month of the board meeting, a shareholders’ assembly will take place, where new positions may be presented.
Some decisions are reportedly the result of discussions between Oaktree and club president Giuseppe Marotta, while others stem from the new ownership’s dissatisfaction with the management of specific areas.
Oaktree is also looking to implement new ideas in external communications. Their plan is to digitalize most, if not all, of the club’s communication, channeling the majority of content through the Media House.
It appears that between October and November, many aspects of the club’s operations could change, potentially leading to the departure of some familiar faces who have been with Inter in recent years.
These organizational changes reflect Oaktree’s vision for modernizing and streamlining Inter Milan’s operations as they seek to put their stamp on one of Italy’s most prestigious football clubs.
