Cypriot Stelios Potamitis has been appointed by UEFA in charge of organising all the games of Italian team AC MILAN in the Europa League.

According to a press release, Potamitis holds a degree in Sports Management from Barry University in the United States, where he also worked for the Fort Lauderdale Strikers. He went on for postgraduate studies in Sports Law and Management in Italy and Switzerland (The FIFA Master).
