OFFICIAL: Bolingbroke resigns at Inter

Inter have officially announced that CEO Michael Bolingbroke has resigned, with Jun Liu replacing him.

The Englishman has been linked with an exit in recent days, in part because of his firm support for sacked Coach Frank de Boer.

Bolingbroke was appointed under Erick Thohir, and while the Indonesian remains President, Suning Group is now the majority shareholder.

“F.C. Internazionale Milano confirm that the Board of Directors met this morning and accepted the resignation of Michael Bolingbroke as CEO with immediate effect,” a statement reads.

“We wish him the best of luck for the future.

“Mr Jun Liu, vice-President of Suning Sports Group, is appointed Inter CEO ad interim. Mr Liu takes over the day-to-day running of the Club from today and will be based at Inter’s head office in Milan. Mr Liu already sits on the Board of Directors of Inter.

The Club believes that the arrival of Mr Liu during this period will allow for a clearer and quicker decision-making process by establishing a direct link to the Club’s majority shareholder Suning.

“A key part of Mr Liu’s role will be to act as a bridge between Suning and Inter, thus providing direct access to Suning’s vast corporate support network.

“After an initial phase of observation and understanding, the appointment of Mr Liu demonstrates a more direct involvement by Suning in Inter’s management.

“Jun Liu was born in China in 1976. He obtained a masters degree at the University of Nanjing. He is vice-President of Suning Sports Group, and has a wealth of experience in the sports management area.”
