Ferrari could be set to continue their management shake-up with former team boss Stefano Domenicali linked with a return as CEO.

The Scuderia has seen a high turnover of executives in recent months following the death of chairman Sergio Marchionne last July with Louis Camilleri installed as the new chief executive.

However, barely six months into the post, Italian media is reporting Domenicali, who has enjoyed success as the head of Lamborghini since leaving Ferrari, could return partly to use his F1 experience in talks with Liberty Media regarding a new Concorde Agreement.

A change in the position was recently played down, however, by Piero Ferrari, the last son of founder Enzo who remains a 10% shareholder in the company.

"I say that it is necessary to give him [Camilleri] enough time to work," said the 73-year-old. "Undoubtedly his style is very different from Marchionne, but it's also unique and inimitable."

Ferrari also offered an insight into the departure of Maurizio Arrivabene as team boss, which was made public last week but had been decided weeks before.

"Everything happened before Christmas, then for various reasons we decided not to reveal the decision," he said in an interview with La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I don't want to go into details, also because I can only speak as a shareholder, but I only say that there was a confrontation between us members and in the end we acted in the exclusive interest of Ferrari."

As for Domenicali's possible return, should that take place it may spark rumours of a possible comeback for Fernando Alonso after the Italian put the suggestion forward himself soon after the Spaniard's final race in Abu Dhabi last year.
