After 28 years, the relationship between Ausilio and Inter comes to an end. The executive, who joined the club at the age of 26, leaves behind one of the longest and most influential experiences in recent Nerazzurri history. He was deputy sporting director in the year of the Treble and has been sporting director for the last three league titles.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the farewell came after some disagreements over the renewal of the contract. Among the main issues was the duration of the agreement: Ausilio would have preferred a three-year deal, while the proposal on the table was for a one-year contract.

The decision was also influenced by the relationships the executive had built over the years in the world of the transfer market and the media, considered by some to be a cumbersome element. The long experience had allowed Ausilio to build a deep knowledge of the club and a dense network of contacts in the international market.

Dario Baccin is ready to take his place, an executive who grew professionally alongside Ausilio and Marotta. For him, an important challenge immediately opens up: to take on the legacy of one of the longest-serving executives in recent Nerazzurri history.
