Sabatini resigns as sports chief of Inter owner Suning
Print Edition
Walter Sabatini has resigned as technical coordinator of Suning Sports, the group that owns Italian Inter Milan and Chinese Super League side Jiangsu, the group confirmed yesterday.
For Suning, the split with Sabatini follows the resignation this week of fellow Italian Fabio Capello as coach of the CSL team. Sabatini’s decision follows disagreements with Inter’s Chinese owner Suning, which paid 270 million euros (US$335 million) in June 2016 to take a 70 percent stake in the club. “Apart from the fact that Inter are Inter, it would have been nice to build something consistent,” Sabatini told Sky Sports Italia. Sabatini, 62, has accused the Suning group, bankrolled by Chinese businessman Zhang Jindong, of not investing enough in Inter, according to Italian media. The club is currently fourth in Serie A — within the UEFA Champions League qualification places for next season. “Suning Sports and Sabatini have reached an agreement for the early termination of his contract,” the group said. “Sabatini will no longer occupy the role of Suning Group technical coordinator. The club wish him well in his next experience.”
