Claudia Rizzo, daughter of billionaire Gianluigi Rizzo, becomes the first female president of Ternana Calcio. Read about her vision and goals for the team.


“The first task is to build a strong bond with the team and the city. We will reintroduce an online subscription campaign...”


Ternana, a Serie C team, has appointed Claudia Rizzo as its new president, making her the club's first-ever female president. The 23-year-old Rizzo was appointed by her father, club owner Gianluigi Rizzo, and is set to bring “passion and determination” to her new role.


Ternana has a rich history in Italian football, despite not being a top-tier club. The team has played in Serie A twice (1972/73 and 1974/75) and spent 28 seasons in Serie B. With Rizzo at the helm, fans are eager to see how she'll lead the club forward.


Ternana Calcio, a team that has previously been coached by notable figures such as Cesare Maldini and Luigi Delneri, currently sits in seventh place in Group B with ten points from six games. This third-division Italian side has garnered attention not only for their performance but also due to recent changes in ownership and leadership.


Gianluigi Rizzo's arrival as the new owner marked a significant shift, followed by the appointment of his 23-year-old daughter Claudia as the club's president. This move makes Claudia Rizzo the first female president in Ternana's history, sparking curiosity about her potential impact on the team.


Claudia Rizzo has expressed her commitment to bringing passion and dedication to the role, emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships with the team, fans, and the city of Terni. Her vision includes reopening the subscription campaign and working towards a brighter future for Ternana Calcio.


The appointment of Claudia Rizzo has generated interest in how she will lead the team, particularly given her youth and the fact that she's breaking ground as the first female president. While some might view this as a family affair, others are eager to see her demonstrate her leadership abilities and potentially bring new energy to the club.


“We are going to put passion and determination into this, step by step,” she said at a press conference. “I've always been a big fan of Ternana. During the negotiations, it was suggested to me to take over as president. It's a great responsibility but also an opportunity. I feel much more confident with experienced staff and I am confident that the club will move forward,” she added.


Claudia Rizzo, the 23-year-old daughter of billionaire Gianluigi Rizzo, has been appointed as the new president of Ternana Calcio. With Massimo Ferrero, former Sampdoria owner, as her consultant, Rizzo outlined her first plans in the role, saying, “The first task is to build a strong bond with the team and the city. We will reintroduce an online subscription campaign. I'm experiencing a thousand emotions, but above all I see Ternana as an honour and a responsibility.”




Rizzo's appointment makes her the first female president in Ternana's history, and while she's young, she's not the youngest president in Italian football. According to Telegrafi, she ranks third in that respect. Alessandro Ruggeri became Atalanta's president at 21 in 2008, and Umberto Agnelli took the helm at Juventus at 22 in 1955. Despite her youth, Rizzo seems determined to make her mark, emphasizing her passion and dedication to the role.


Claudia Rizzo, the newly appointed president of Ternana Calcio, has traded her role running the family's olive oil factory in Sicily for the high-pressure world of Italian football. With her appointment, Rizzo becomes the first female president in the club's history and one of the youngest presidents in Italian football, ranking third on the list after Alessandro Ruggeri, who became Atalanta's president at 21, and Umberto Agnelli, who took the helm at Juventus at 22.


As she navigates the “rough waters” of football management, Rizzo has outlined her vision for the team, emphasizing the importance of building strong relationships with the team and the city. “The first task is to build a strong bond with the team and the city. We will reintroduce an online subscription campaign. I'm experiencing a thousand emotions, but above all, I see Ternana as an honour and a responsibility,” she said.




The news of Rizzo's appointment spread rapidly on social media, generating buzz and attracting new fans worldwide. Ternana Calcio, currently ranked seventh in Group B of Serie C, will undoubtedly benefit from the increased attention. With Massimo Ferrero, former Sampdoria owner, as her consultant, Rizzo is poised to bring a fresh perspective to the team.
