AI summary
Piero Ausilio has ended his legendary tenure at Inter after nearly 30 years. Contract negotiations broke down when Oaktree offered only a one-year renewal with minimal improvement, which Ausilio felt lacked confidence in his work. No fresh proposal followed, leading to an amicable split. Ausilio orchestrated major signings including Lautaro, Lukaku, Barella, Bastoni, Hakimi, Thuram and Calhanoglu, helping deliver three Serie A titles and multiple cup competitions.
Marotta said the parting was consensual and expressed hope for Ausilio's future, noting it is natural for someone after such a long period to seek new challenges or rest. Dario Baccin, who has spent 10 years at Inter, steps up as the new sporting director. Marotta called him Ausilio's protégé and praised his understanding of Inter's identity.
