Paolillo convinced Inter Milan set for massive changes

Former Inter Milan chief Ernesto Paolillo is worried about the club's future.

Owners Suning are facing a closing deadline to repay a loan from hedge fund Oaktree.

"It was predictable that Oaktree would put pressure on Zhang because we know the situation as well as the numbers," argued the former Nerazzurri CEO in his interview with TMW Radio.

Even in the event of a deadline extension, the loan will be extremely onerous.

It seems strange to me that Zhang has reached this stage without a proper solution.

Now either everything passes into the hands of Oaktree or a replacement for Zhang, but I don't see it on the horizon.

I believe that at the moment, only Arab capital can intervene. I'm not considering American or Asian capital."

He also said: If we consider the managers at Italian football or sports level in general, I believe a man with Marotta's experience would be suitable for a major role on the national level, for the good of Italian football.

However, I hope he stays at Inter for the club's sake. But I see him doing well at the Italian Football Federation anyway."
