Silvio Berlusconi is back in Serie A. Club AC Monza, owned by the former prime minister of Italy since 2018, rose to the top with the play-offs for the first time in the club’s 110-year history. † The team did this by beating Pisa.
“We fought hard for a year and now we have achieved something historic,” Berlusconi said. Sky Italy† “Monza never played in Serie A, but now we made it. Great for us and the people at Brianza.”
Berlusconi’s team won 2-1 in their home stadium on Thursday. Returning to Pisa on Sunday, the home team was 3-2 after ninety minutes, requiring extra time. Thanks to goals from Luca Marrone and Christian Gytkjaer, Monza won the match in extra time.
The 85-year-old Berlusconi bought the club four years ago for 3 million euros when he played in the Monza Serie C. Berlusconi has appointed his permanent right-hand man, Adriano Galliani, as coach. Together they have already celebrated great successes at AC Milan. Berlusconi was the owner of the “Rossoneri” between 1986 and 2017 and Galliani was the manager. During this period, Milan became European champions five times and Italy eight times.
Berlusconi was promoted to Serie B with Monza in 2020 and then immediately wanted to move on to Serie A, but last year it went wrong in the play-offs. Trainer Giovanni Stroppa’s side is going straight this season.
However, on the last day of the regular season, Monza took second place. The coveted promotion was achieved through the playoffs. “One thing is certain: Serie A is not an end point, it is a starting point,” said the ambitious club.
