Soccer: Suning asked me to return as Inter chairman- Moratti

(ANSA) - Milan, September 30 - Former Inter Milan owner Massimo Moratti said Friday that the new controlling stakeholder, Chinese electronic retailing giant Suning, has asked him to return as chairman of the Serie A giants.
    However, Moratti added he was not sure about whether to take up the offer.
    Moratti ceded control of Inter when he sold a 70% stake to Indonesian businessman Erick Thohir, the current chairman, in 2013.
    He is no longer a minority shareholder after Suning's takeover this year.
    "Suning has asked me to return as Inter chairman," Moratti told Premium Sport.
    "It would be an honour but I don't know what I'd answer. "The fans are nostalgic. Erick Thohir tried to make buys but had trouble managing a toy that was bigger than expected.
    "I feel safe with the Chinese. They have a great desire to do well". Inter won five Serie A titles, four Italian Cups, the 2010 Champions League and Club World Cup and the 1998 UEFA Cup during Moratti's 18 years in charge.
    He is the son of oilman Angelo Moratti, who bankrolled the 'Great Inter' side that won two European Cups in the 1960s, and four scudetti between 1963 and 1971.
