DUBLIN and MILAN, Aug. 09, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) --
Brera Holdings PLC (“Brera Holdings”, “Brera”, or the “Company”) (Nasdaq: BREA) announced that its
wholly-owned subsidiary, Brera Milano S.r.l. (“Brera Milano”), has appointed Gianluigi Viganò as its Chief Executive
Officer effective as of July 2023. Mr. Viganò’s addition marks a significant turning point for Brera Milano, and he plans
to bring major innovations and business development opportunities to both Brera Milano and the Company. Mr. Viganò will lead a
team consisting of five highly qualified individuals who will use their marketing and commercialization skills to support revenue growth
of Brera and its subsidiaries.
Mr. Viganò has more than 30 years of experience

of over 60 companies, which we believe demonstrates an exceptional talent in leading successful businesses. From 2001 to 2011, Mr. Viganò

to improve brand recognition and consolidate UYBA Volley’s status in the Italian Sports landscape,” said Brera Holdings Chief
Executive Officer, Pierre Galoppi. “With Mr. Viganò’s arrival, Brera Milano is preparing to open a new chapter as we
