## Summary

RedBird Capital Partners has created Milan Sports & Entertainment (MSE), a new holding company for its sports and entertainment interests in Milan, and appointed Brett Yormark as its chief executive. The move brings AC Milan, a planned shared stadium and a bid for a place in a proposed European NBA league under one organisation, reflecting RedBird’s ambition to build a wider city-based sports and entertainment business.

Yormark, who previously led the Brooklyn Nets and Barclays Center, will take up the role in January after stepping down as Big 12 Conference commissioner. MSE is also considering a sports and entertainment destination in San Donato and more elite tennis events. AC Milan will remain central to the plan; the club and Inter are due to share a new 71,500-capacity stadium, backed by a Generali naming-rights deal worth more than £500 million over 20 years.
