History edit

The first president of Inter Milan history was Giovanni Paramithiotti, who was also one of the founders of the club.[2] Paramithiotti was succeeded by Ettore Strauss just one year later following a decision from the club's associates.[2]

The longest-running presidency was Massimo Moratti's,[3] who bought the club from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995.[4] Moratti served non-continuously as president from 1995 to 2013, with two resignations in the process: firstly in May 2009,[5] revoked the following July,[6] and secondly from January 2004 to November 2006, where the role was given to Giacinto Facchetti until his death.[7][8]

Massimo Moratti's presidency was also the most victorious in the history of the club,[9] winning 16 trophies from 1998 to 2011 including five Serie A titles, four Coppa Italia, three Supercoppa Italiana, one UEFA Cup, one Champions League, and one FIFA Club World Cup.[10] The second most victorious presidency was that of Massimo Moratti's father, Angelo,[11] who was at the head of the club from 1955 to 1968,[12] winning three Serie A titles, two Champions Leagues, and two Intercontinental Cups.[11]

Moratti's era concluded in 2013, when the club was bought by Indonesian businessman Erik Thohir, who became the first foreign president of Inter Milan.[13][14] In 2018, Thohir sold the club to Steven Zhang, who became the youngest-ever president of the club as well as the only foreign president to win a trophy.[15][16]
