After his career as a football player, Branca became an official at Inter Milan in 2002 , where he was responsible for player transfers as technical director since 2003 . Under Branca, Inter signed players like Dejan Stanković , Esteban Cambiasso , Júlio César , Samuel , Maicon , Zlatan Ibrahimović , Wesley Sneijder , Diego Milito and Samuel Eto'o .
