AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis to leave role in December, successor yet to be named
AC Milan CEO Ivan Gazidis (58) will leave his position on December 5th, the Italian Serie A club said on Wednesday.
Gazidis took over at the San Siro club in December 2018, having previously been chief executive at Arsenal, where he served for nearly a decade.
"I owe so much to this Club, its people, its fans and to this city that literally saved my life," Gazidis said in a statement.
He was diagnosed with throat cancer in 2021 and said at that time he would remain in the role while undergoing treatment.
The Italian champions said Gazidis will remain fully operational in his role as CEO until his departure date, with a successor to be announced later.
