Andrea Radrizzani says he's taking what he learned with Leeds United into his running of Sampdoria.
Radrizzani left Leeds to buy Serie BSampdoria over the summer.
“In life I have always been very attracted by challenges, just as I helped Leeds," he said.
“I helped Matteo Manfredi in this adventure of saving Sampdoria, very close to bankruptcy at that time. We are talking about a historic club and one of the most renowned in Italian football, it was necessary to do something.
“The television rights of the Premier League generate much more revenue than Serie A, but at the same time we have to face higher costs."
