AC Monza, a club owned since 2018 by Silvio Berlusconi and Adriano Galliani, the businessman’s longtime right-hand man and former head of the Italian government, paid tribute to the memory of “Il Cavaliere”, who died on Monday at the age of 86. “Adriano Galliani and all of AC Monza mourn the disappearance of Silvio Berlusconi, said the Lombard club in a message on its website. It is a void that can never be filled, forever with us. Thank you for everything, president. »
After selling AC Milan, which he had led for more than 30 years (1986-2017), Silvio Berlusconi embarked on a new sporting adventure in 2018 by taking over Monza, of which he entrusted, as in Milan, management to Adriano Galliani.
The club, whose stadium is ten minutes from Berlusconi’s villa in Arcore, rose through the ranks to move from the 3rd Division to Serie A last summer. Several other clubs also paid tribute to the former AC Milan boss, including Italian champions Napoli, who expressed the ‘condolences’ of its president Aurelio De Laurentiis and the whole club in a statement. .
