“It is an honour” – Yormark speaks after Milan Sport & Entertainment CEO appointment

By: Ben Dixon

Earlier today, AC Milan were introduced to a new name, thanks to the creation of a new company: Milan Sports & Entertainment.

The international break is never really a period of major news, yet Milan broke that spell today. Indeed, RedBird Capital Partners published a statement about a new company formed to oversee all of the Rossoneri’s business.

A centralised company that would allow everything Diavolo to be kept in one place is a major step forward for the club and city. San Donato was mentioned as an important focus for the new company, but the headline will remain the footballing operation.

To help with the project, Gerry Cardinale – who spoke about the decision – has appointed Brett Yormark to be the CEO of the company and reports suggest that he will join in January.

Speaking today, via MilanNews, Yormark admitted it was an honour to be part of the Milan family.

“It is an honour and a privilege to take on this role in a city with Milan’s history and passion for sports. I understand the responsibility that comes with leading an organisation tied to institutions that mean so much to their fans and the communities they serve.

“Throughout my career, I have helped evolve sports organisations, expand their reach, and create new opportunities. I look forward to leveraging this experience to realise RedBird’s vision for MSE.

“I am thrilled to work alongside Gerry, RedBird, and our colleagues in Milan to transform this vision into concrete, lasting results.”
