Scaroni explains why he is proud to be ‘president of the only team in Milan’

Paolo Scaroni has spoken of his pride at being the president of AC Milan, aiming a jab at Inter by stating they are the only club in the city.

Tonight marks the unveiling of the ‘125 years of Milan’ photobook at the Milan Flagship Store in Via Dante in the city centre. Created with Assouline, it celebrates the glorious history of the club and all of its triumphs.

Gerry Cardinale wrote a foreword in the book in which he spoke about an ‘obsession’ to return Milan to the pinnacle of European football, and that is something Scaroni will want to do too. He spoke on stage, and his comments were relayed by MilanNews.

“I am from Vicenza, I came to Milan to attend Bocconi [the university]. I came here and I got lost on the way, I didn’t know where San Babila was,” he began.

“To think that after so many years I am president of the only team in Milan, let’s be honest: in Milan there is only one, a real one… it gives me an incredible emotion.

“To think that I have been president for almost seven years now, I am a long-term president, I have had the privilege of celebrating 120 years of history of Milan and today 125 years.
