Alessandra Bianchi has concluded her operational tenure as managing director of Calcio Padova after nine years with the Italian football club, according to an official club announcement.
Padovacalcio.it reported that Bianchi’s mandate reached its natural expiration date on November 9, 2026. Her departure closes a chapter of leadership that began when she joined the board of directors in December 2017.
Following her appointment as managing director in May 2019, Bianchi took on the role of club president in June 2022, per padovacalcio.it. That appointment made her the first woman to lead the club in its history. She held the presidential office until handing over responsibilities to Francesco Peghin in 2023.
Tgbiancoscudato.telenuovo.it noted that Bianchi guided the club through a period of deep structural renewal. Her tenure emphasized financial sustainability, sporting performance, and the development of young talent within the organization.
A central milestone of Bianchi’s operational leadership was Calcio Padova’s promotion to Serie B in 2025, which both outlets highlighted as a defining achievement of her tenure.

Reflecting on her departure after nearly a decade of service, Bianchi released a farewell statement published by padovacalcio.it and tgbiancoscudato.telenuovo.it.
«Dopo nove anni lascio il Calcio Padova con la consapevolezza di aver vissuto un’esperienza umana e professionale di grande valore. Porterò per sempre i colori biancoscudati nel cuore».
Calcio Padova publicly thanked Bianchi for her commitment, competence, and dedication to the club, offering well wishes for her personal and professional future.
