REUTERS/Arnd Wiegmann(Reuters) -Italian fashion group Prada confirmed on Tuesday that it would name former Luxottica chief Andrea Guerra as its new chief executive officer to ease a transition at the helm to the next generation of the founding family. Current CEO Patrizio Bertelli, 76, will be appointed chairman of the luxury company at annual shareholder meeting next spring. Current co-CEO Miuccia Prada, 73, will remain creative director of the Miu Miu and Prada brands - the latter together with Belgian designer Raf Simons - and a board member. Guerra, 57, will be recommended as the new CEO at a board meeting to be held on Jan.26 by Prada Holding, which owns 80% of Prada group. As Luxottica CEO from 2004 to 2014, the manager oversaw a more than doubling in sales at the spectacles manufacturer that has been producing and distributing eyeglasses under the Prada group’s Prada and Miu Miu brands since 2003.
