President Maurizio Zamparini says he could remain at Palermo as a minority shareholder even after handing over control of the club.
The long-serving 75-year-old is currently in talks with a Chinese consortium over the sale of his stake in the Rosaneri, but revealed to Giornale Di Sicilia that he would not be making a clean break from the club.
“I don’t think that Sunday will be the last time I meet [Sampdoria President Massimo] Ferrero,” Zamparini commented.
President Maurizio Zamparini says he could remain at Palermo as a minority shareholder even after handing over control of the club.
The long-serving 75-year-old is currently in talks with a Chinese consortium over the sale of his stake in the Rosaneri, but revealed to Giornale Di Sicilia that he would not be making a clean break from the club.
“I don’t think that Sunday will be the last time I meet [Sampdoria President Massimo] Ferrero,” Zamparini commented.
“Maybe it will be in terms of my role of President, but I will stay at the club if the negotiations with the Chinese proceed.
“I could also stay with a minority share in the club.”
Zamparini then claimed he does not view the match with the Blucerchiati as a personal battle between himself and counterpart Ferrero, despite the former reportedly threatening to kill the latter last year.
“Sampdoria against Palermo definitely isn’t a battle between myself and Massimo Ferrero. It is a very important match to try to move up the table in Serie A.”
