Former Juventus CEO Giuseppe Marotta has taken up a similar role at Serie A rivals Inter Milan, the club announced on Thursday.
Marotta joined Juve in 2010 and presided over a glorious period for the club, which included seven consecutive Serie A titles before stepping down at the end of September.
The 61-year-old had been heavily linked with the presidency of the Italian Football Federation (FIGC) towards the end of his tenure, but he strongly denied that and claims of talks with Inter surfaced soon after.
Marotta's installation will surely come with great expectations given Juve's success under his guidance, coupled with Inter's underwhelming showings in recent years.
The Nerazzurri have not won the title since 2009-10, but they will hope Marotta's arrival is the first step on the road to domestic success once again, with their new chief well aware of the requirements needed to win the Scudetto.
