“The Sunday Ventures of Mike Melby has taken possession of the Romagna club and is planning the next Serie B. The new owner is a former martial arts champion, and his wife is the heir to a historic dynasty in combat sports”. The Gazzetta dello Sport writes this about what would be the silent handover within Cesena football. Everything would have already been formalized, Mike Malby, Californian entrepreneur, would have already acquired the majority of the Juventus club, John and Michal Aiello would still remain as minority shareholders. Official announcements are missing.
The pink newspaper draws a parallel with Inter passing into the hands of Oaktree (the fund based in Los Angeles) instead “Cesena meets Mike Melby, the entrepreneur-financier who from Newport Beach, California has piloted the return of the Bianconeri to Serie B from afar with a season full of records. One thing is certain: Jrl Llc of the Aiello family obtained a mega loan last September from the syndication led, in fact, by Melby”writes the Gazzetta dello Sport.
The Juventus club with the lights off is experiencing an important corporate transition, a reorganization that would allow Cavalluccio to have an important budget to face the B series, a much more demanding championship than the third series. As far as the sporting side is concerned, there is always talk of Roberto D’Aversa as a possible coach, he ended last season with a dismissal in Serie A with Lecce but he really wants to start again. While Toscano’s position is still on “ice”, under contract with Cesena for another year, but insistently linked to Catania, Padua and Vicenza, especially if the Venetians were to fail in the playoff final with Carrarese.
