US group inks Roma deal

A group of American investors led by Boston-based private equity tycoon Thomas DiBenedetto have signed a deal to buy Italian football club Roma, making it the first Serie A club to have foreign ownership.
"The deal is done," DiBenedetto said at a press conference after completing the formalities along with Paolo Fiorentino, vice president of Unicredit bank.
"I am proud of my Italian origins and for this reason I will do big things.
Unicredit last year became co-owner of the cash-strapped club and will have a share of the new ownership company.
