Galliani candidate with Forza Italia and Monza for sale? He: «I obey»- Corriere.it

I obey. This is the meaning of Adriano Galliani’s answer to the Berlusconi family in the most painful week for the man who has been the Knight’s right hand man in the last 44 years. That is, since when Galliani met in Arcore the man who changed his life. He recounted it many times, it was November 1, 1979 and when faced with the request to set up three national networks like the ones Rai already had, he sold 50 percent of Elettronica Industriale to Silvio for one billion.

Now the family, Berlusconi’s children, are asking one of the most loyal managers to give up football, because the Monza will be put up for saleas indeed the Courier had already anticipated in recent months. But if at the time Fininvest’s idea was the search for a minority shareholder allowing the tycoon to retain ownership of the club, now the will to sell all the shares of the company that achieved its historic goal last year prevails to get to Serie A.

The family would also have asked Galliani to present himself in the by-elections which will be held before October to take over the vacant seat in the Senate which was occupied by Silvio Berlusconi. In this way, the manager now at Monza would return to dealing with politics as he had already done in 2018 when he was a candidate for Politics. In the last elections, however, he had chosen not to reappear, wanting to take care of Monza in the round. “The last dance,” he had called it. Now Silvio’s children are calling and he, a figure capable of giving continuity to Berlusconi’s thinking, on good terms also with Marta Fascina, he makes himself available by accepting each assignment that will be presented to him. In memory of the love there was towards the landmark of a lifetime.
