Italian football club Inter Milan. In 2014, he was inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame.[1]

Early career

In 1978, at age 21, Marotta began his career in

1985–86 season
.

After leaving Varese, Marotta was appointed GM of

Ravenna for two seasons, also in Serie C1.[2]

Atalanta, where he served for two seasons.[2]
During his time at Atalanta, the club finished seventh and ninth in the Serie A table.

Sampdoria

Following the

2003–04, he added to two big-name acquisitions in Cristiano Doni and Francesco Antonioli as Sampdoria finished in eighth place, just missing out on UEFA Cup qualification.[4]

In 2004,[citation needed] Marotta was appointed to serve as chief executive officer (CEO) (Italian: Amministratore delegato) of Sampdoria, in addition to his role of GM. Shortly after, Marotta hired ex-player Fabio Paratici to serve as chief observer/head of scouting for Sampdoria.[5] Paratici worked very closely under the guidance of Marotta, often being described as his "right-hand man".[6]

The

2008–09 season, finishing in 13th place in Serie A, leading Marotta to not renew the expiring contract of head coach Walter Mazzarri.[10]

After dismissing Mazzarri, Marotta hired head coach

2009–10 season in fourth place, qualifying for the 2010–11 Champions League. In May 2010, it was heavily rumored Juventus was interested in hiring Marotta, and Sampdoria's owner/president Riccardo Garrone openly stated he would gladly let Marotta leave for the more prestigious club.[11]

Juventus

In May 2010, Marotta was officially brought to Juventus by newly elected club chairman

Calciopoli scandal. In his move from Sampdoria to Juventus, Marotta also brought along head of scouting Fabio Paratici and head coach Luigi Delneri.[12] On 27 October 2010, Marotta was appointed a member of Juventus' Board of Directors and named the club's CEO, replacing Jean-Claude Blanc.[13] However, Aldo Mazzia was appointed chief financial officer
(CFO) and CEO of the club in April and in May 2011 respectively.

Similar to his first transfer market upon taking over at Sampdoria, Marotta spent the first year in charge of transfer operations at Juventus making wholesale changes to the squad, acquiring 14 new players, including Miloš Krasić, Fabio Quagliarella, Alessandro Matri and Alberto Aquilani;[14]) while offloading 11 players, including selling club legend David Trezeguet and Brazilian playmaker Diego, moves which were unpopular with fans.[15][16] Juventus finished the 2010–11 season in seventh place, missing out again on Champions League football and also having failed to advance past the group stages of the 2010–11 UEFA Europa League. Following the disappointing season, Marotta and the club announced manager Luigi Delneri would not be returning for another season.[17]

On 31 May 2011, Marotta announced the appointment of former Juventus player and captain

free transfers, and new signings Stephan Lichtsteiner, Arturo Vidal, Mirko Vučinić, Emanuele Giaccherini, Marcelo Estigarribia and Eljero Elia.[14]
In May 2012, Juventus won their first Scudetto in six years.

Since Juventus' surprise run to the

2015 Champions League final, Marotta and the club administration have been praised for assembling one of Europe's top midfields at a minimal cost, with first choice midfielders Paul Pogba (free), Arturo Vidal (€10.5 million), Andrea Pirlo (free) and Claudio Marchisio (youth product/free), as well as several back-up midfielders on loan, all costing a cumulative total less than €15 million and contributing over one-third of the goals scored in all competitions that season.[20][21]

On 31 October 2018, Marotta officially terminated his contract as Juventus CEO.[22]

Internazionale

On 13 December 2018, Marotta officially joined Inter as CEO for sport.
