MILAN (Reuters) - INWIT on Friday promoted chief financial officer Diego Galli to the role of general manager as part of a new governance setup following the sale of most of Telecom Italia (BIT:TLIT)'s stake in Italy's top telecom towers firm.

Earlier this year Telecom Italia (TIM) agreed to sell a 12.4% indirect stake in Milan-listed INWIT to French investment firm Ardian, which became the company's second largest investor behind Vodafone (LON:VOD).

The deal triggered a far-reaching board reshuffle and the resignation of chief executive officer Giovanni Ferigo.

Under an initial plan, Ferigo would have been replaced by a new CEO identified by Vodafone.
