Monza president Silvio Berlusconi is delighted with the work of coach Raffaele Palladino.
Monza host Berlusconi's former club AC Milan today.
He said, I bought Monza not for football, but because I admire the reality of Brianza and because I thought that after 110 years it was not right for Monza to remain in Serie D.
When we bought the team, they were in Serie D, then in Serie C, in Serie B and in Serie A. Now the Monza fans have the ambition to be in Serie A, if we were to win even the Scudetto we would have to go and play at the San Siro.
They wanted to destroy it, now it seems that they've changed their minds, fortunately because San Siro is in the history of football, of Milan and also in my history.
Unfortunately, in the first six games we only picked up one point. (Giovanni) Stroppa told me that he didn't feel like going on. I thought about who I could entrust the team to.
Our Primavera was doing well and the coach was a gentleman. One evening, with Galliani, we entrusted him with the team and he became our coach. Six teams contacted him, but we shook hands, and Palladino remains at Monza."
