New AS Roma owner Signor Thomas DiBenedetto – an eternally rich American at an eternal Italian club
Thomas DiBenedetto is the man making all the headlines in Serie A. The likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Zlatan-Ibrahimovic-c38029 and Samuel Eto’o, for all their star power, have been put to inside pages of the Italian papers. Just who is this new face among the footballing icons, one
wonders. Thomas DiBenedetto is almost ready to take control of AS Roma, the fiercely proud Italian club, and barring any sensational or dramatic twists, the American tycoon will be there come rain or storm.
Trigoria, the Giallorossi training ground, will see a massive change which will be of historic proportions. The American will be the Serie A’s first Stranieri (foreign) owner. Words like ‘un uomo eterno in un citta eternal (an eternal rich man in an eternal
city) come to the mind of every Roma fan as the takeover nears its climax.
Bettor.com delves into the background of this 61-year-old Mr. Riches who is planning a Roman renaissance.
Thomas DiBenedetto was born in Boston in April of 1951 but his origins can be traced to Siano, a small town near Salerno, a port city in Italy. He has been the president of Boston International Group since 1983. This group has major assets that range from
property companies to sports industry. He is the co-owner of New http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tom-c35214 Werner is the current owner of Premier League
giants, Liverpool FC.
DiBenedetto is also the president of Junction Investors Ltd, an investment management company. He is also the owner of Jefferson Watermann International which is a business intelligence company. Currently, he resides in a 2 million Euro mansion in Essex
County. Another interesting fact about Signor DiBenedetto: One of his sons, Thomas Junior, played for The Boston Red Sox.
Moreover, Thomas DiBenedetto is in the Forbes archives. A fact that just goes on to show the status the American has in Business world. His allegiance with John Henry and his ties with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Liverpool-c39809 management can only be good news for La Maggica faithful;
Mr. DiBenedetto will be a shrewd businessman who will make rational decisions. Keeping the ailing health of the current Roma side in mind, the Giallorossi can certainly do with some DiBenedetto treatment.
Since John Henry took over Liverpool, the club has seen a good ‘face-lift’. The same can be expected for Roma once the summer transfer marker opens. The Roman fans who believe that record transfer fees would be splashed are mistaken. Owing much to a shrewd
business mind, the new Roma owner knows when to invest; players would be paid for only when they are worth the cheque. The best part of the takeover that many Roma fans should realize that his Italian origins will be very helpful when he starts re-building
the squad.
Boston based investors have a reputation of handling cash with care. The same goes out for DiBenedetto. AS Roma’s finances are in safe hands.
A new ray of hope is now shining on the eternal city of Rome and it’s coming from a man from Boston whose roots are in Italy. It has all the makings of a fairytale and the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roma-c31603 fans can finally dare to believe that they will see their beloved Roma attain
a legendary status. A club of Roma’s stature deserves no less.
