Lovaglio has been consulting investors to gauge support after the MPS board ruled him out at the last minute. PLT Holding, a key MPS investor, filed a slate of board nominees for April’s renewal, proposing that Lovaglio remain CEO, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.
The move comes amid tensions between Lovaglio and the bank’s directors, highlighting the ongoing struggles at Monte dei Paschi, Italy’s historic lender facing financial restructuring and strategic uncertainty.
