Regarding the position of his brother-in-law Marco Mezzaroma, he is considering the possibility of dropping his shares down to only 49%, with Lotito leaving the club entirely. This would still be allowed under the rules, as Mezzaroma would not have a controlling stake in the club.

Lotito purchased Salernitana in 2011 after the club’s bankruptcy. He guided them to Serie B after a few years, but the club’s unexpected promotion to Serie A means that he is now forced to sell the Campania outfit.
