Inter are ending their association with sporting director Piero Ausilio, according to transfer-market insider Nicolo Schira.
Ausilio’s contract with the Milan club expired last summer, bringing his 28-year involvement with the Nerazzurri to a close. His departure marks the end of one of the longest-running professional relationships in Inter’s recent history.
Schira reported the development on social media, with Inter now completing the separation from the sporting director. The club has not been credited in the report with making a public announcement about the decision.
Ausilio began his association with Inter 28 years ago and has remained part of the club’s football structure throughout that period. His time with the Nerazzurri is now approaching its conclusion after the expiry of his employment agreement.
The development comes as Inter have made a strong start to the new Serie A campaign. The Milan side have won both of their opening matches and currently sit second in the league table.
Inter’s next league fixture will be against Napoli at their home stadium on Saturday, 5 September. That match will be the club’s next opportunity to continue its unbeaten start while attention around Ausilio’s departure develops.
For now, the key detail is the end of the contractual relationship. The agreement between Ausilio and Inter ran out during the summer, and the club is now completing its separation from the sporting director after almost three decades.
The timing means Ausilio’s departure coincides with a positive opening to the season on the pitch. Inter have taken maximum points from their first two Serie A games and occupy second place in the standings before the meeting with Napoli.
That home match is scheduled for Saturday, 5 September, and will be the next fixture in the Italian top flight for the Nerazzurri. It follows the announcement that Ausilio’s 28-year spell at Inter is coming to an end.
The report was published by Schira through his social-media channels. It identifies the expiry of Ausilio’s contract last summer as the reason the long-standing arrangement between the sporting director and the Milan club is now being concluded.
