AC Milan President Resigns From Serie A Council After Being Involved In European Super League

JAKARTA - AC Milan president Paolo Scaroni has resigned from his position on the Serie A board following his club's involvement in the European Super League project.

"Serie A president Paolo Dal Pino accepts the resignation of the position of League Advisor to be filled by President Milan Scaroni, we are grateful for his valuable and valid contribution," Serie A said on its website as quoted by Reuters on Thursday.

Milan is one of three Serie A clubs involved in the European Super League project, along with Inter Milan and Juventus. The project only lasted a few days after its official announcement last month.

Ten of the 12 founding clubs decided to quit the project after drawing criticism, including from UEFA and FIFA. Only Barcelona and Real Madrid are left from the competition.

Eleven Serie A clubs asked the three teams involved in the Italian Super League to be sanctioned in a joint letter to Dal Pino.

However, the 20 clubs participating in Serie A will meet Wednesday local time and agree to postpone discussions on the European Super League until their next meeting.
