AS Roma has announced that Lina Souloukou has resigned as chief executive of the Italian Serie A club.
Souloukou (pictured left) joined Roma in April 2023, having previously served as chief executive of Greek club Olympiacos between 2018 and 2022. Roma did not give a reason for her departure, which comes after the club sacked manager Daniele De Rossi last week.
Souloukou had been involved in Roma’s plans for a new stadium, which the club unveiled a first design concept for in July. Roma has said that the Populous-designed stadium will feature the largest single stand in Europe.
