Inter Milan president Thohir tribute to departing Moratti

Inter Milan president Erick Thohir has paid tribute to Massimo Moratti after his exit last week.

Honorary president Moratti resigned, leaving the club after 20 years.

"Massimo achieved remarkable success during his time in charge of the club, the culmination of which was Inter's incredible Treble triumph in 2010," said Thohir.

"He didn't only succeed in building another Grande Inter side, following in the footsteps of his father Angelo: away from the pitch he created the marvellous worldwide social project that is Inter Campus. He has my gratitude.

"I would also like to take this opportunity to thank Angelomario Moratti, Rinaldo Ghelfi and Alberto Manzonetto for their work as members of the board.

"In the coming weeks I shall call a shareholders' meeting and ensure that another board is appointed. I will return to Milan in November and in the meantime, like all our fans around the world, I'll be following our games and cheering on the team from afar, starting with tomorrow's match against Cesena."
