Agnelli And Marotta Slammed For Betraying Serie A Amid European Super League Plans

Agnelli And Marotta Slammed For Betraying Serie A Amid European Super League Plans

Torino President Urbano Cairo has slammed Andrea Agnelli and Inter Milan chairman Giuseppe Marotta for betraying Serie A amid the formation of a European Super League.

Cairo believes both Inter Milan, Juventus, AC Milan and other teams who will join the European Super League should not be allowed to play in the Italian leagues.

The aforementioned clubs, including the traditional ‘big six’ teams in the Premier League together with Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid agreed to be part of a new league that will rival the Champions League.

This current initiative has been criticized by many football personalities in Europe and Cairo has added his voice to the ongoing issue.

“It is an attack on the health of the League. If someone like [Inter CEO] Beppe Marotta, does something like that, he must resign from the FIGC immediately and must be ashamed,” Cairo said.

“You are an Inter director, a club that agreed to join the Super League, you can’t represent Serie A and FIGC because you are threatening the life of the association,” he continued.

“The project is not going to succeed, but those who conceived it are attacking the league and for this betrayal, they must resign and be ashamed.”

Agnelli was accused of sabotaging the deal to sell 10 per cent of the media company formed to control Serie A TV rights to private funds for €1.7 billion.

“It looks like the [Super League] project was filed on January 10, so I told him during the meeting: ‘how can you come here to talk about solidarity when you sabotaged the negotiation with the funds, already knowing that you were doing the Super League?” Cairo revealed.

“How can you go and negotiate for the operation when you are already working at the Super League?. But how do you do it? It is a betrayal.”
