The decision took place at an emergency meeting of the FCA board of directors in Turin, reports Automotive News Europe, and Manley prevailed over two other FCA veterans: Chief Financial Officer Richard Palmer and Alfredo Altavilla, the chief operating officer of FCA's Europe, Middle East and Africa region.The change in CEO could have wide-ranging implications for the company, including for CMO Olivier Francois, whom Marchionne promoted up through the ranks and installed in his current position in 2011.
