Deutsche Telekom's IT services subsidiary is about to undergo a management change.

Adel Al-Saleh will be leaving his position as head of T-Systems at the end of the year at his own request, Telekom announced on Friday. In future, he will manage the business of satellite operator SES. Al-Saleh's successor at T-Systems will be Ferri Abolhassan, who has been responsible for the Group's sales and customer service to date. T-Systems has long been the problem division of the former monopolist. The company has so far tried in vain to sell the loss-making subsidiary.
