The head of Italian firm Tiscali is expected to quit today at a board meeting that is being held at 5.00pm to discuss the group’s preliminary results.
During the meeting the firm’s board will decide boss, Tommaso Pompei’s (pictured) future and will prepare for an expected sell-off of the group’s ISP businesses. According the The Register Pompei is reported to have fallen out with over members of the board over future strategies.
Rumours were already circulating that Pompei was expected to step down as head of the business after comments that he expected the company to sell its UK broadband operations within the next two years.
Mario Rosso, an existing Tiscali director is expected to replace Pompei for the remaining life of the ill-fated ISP.
Suggestions on the market are that Vodafone, Sky and BT are the most likely suitors for the UK Tiscali business. However, many more ISPs have been thrown into the mix in the recent past including Carphone Warehouse and Virgin Media.
