Moratti: I don't regret selling Inter

Who better than Massimo Moratti to explain what it means to be the president of a football club? There are probably few people in Italy who can do this, so his opinion remains very valuable.

In an interview with "La Repubblica", the former Inter president recalled the moments of the sale of the black and blue club: "I started thinking in 2011 that someone else was needed at the helm.

Fans are not happy if they have a passionate president who can't afford to spend. So, when Erick Thohir's interest appeared, I decided to step back, to take a step back.

He was an intelligent person and had the right tools.

"With the sale to the Zhang family, he also made a good deal."

Why are presidents like you appearing?

Football is going where there are more economic opportunities, it's normal.

Here we are talking about investment funds, about the money of many people, or about families with extraordinary wealth like the 'Hartono' brothers, the owners of Como, who can afford the high costs of managing a Serie A club today.

However, someone is still standing...

Yes, and I'm happy about that, but football becomes an increasingly expensive business every year, a dangerous game to keep. If they get a good offer, they will sell too.

Serie A is heading towards a league with entirely foreign ownership. This is the way to go. Spectators don't care about nationality, for them it's enough that the club is serious.

Have you ever regretted selling Inter?

No, everything has its time and I used mine well. I often think about my Inter, but I have never felt nostalgic for my years as president. It was right to take a step back, but it was a wonderful adventure.
