Politics, business, media, personal life, but above all sports. Silvio Berlusconi is known as the man who changed football. His vision as a successful businessman made the "Cavalier" realize a real revolution in the world of football.
From the winter of 1986 when he became the owner of Milan, Berlusconi brought about a change that also affected the global level. In 31 years at the Red and Black club, he won 29 trophies: 26 of them as president over two decades and 3 as vice president in the 11 years of Galliani's leadership.
He was the longest-lived and most successful president in the history of Milan. In total, he invested about 900 million euros in Djalli. In the first season at the club, he conceived the Hollywoodian presentation of the players, who descended on the Milan Arena by helicopter.
The real revolution started with the appointment of the almost unknown Arrigo Sachi at the head of the bench in the 1987-88 season. After the champion title won in the first edition, the following year Milan climbed to the top of Europe and the world, winning the Champions League and the Intercontinental Cup.
Among the many trophies, Berlusconi's Milan won Serie A 8 times, lifted the Champions League 5 times, received two Intercontinental Cups, and also registered a triumph in the Club World Cup. All of this success was fueled by sensational signings and Ballon d'Or winners such as Rud Gullit, Van Basten, Weah, Shevchenko and Kakà.
Farewell to Milan in April 2017, where he sold the club to the Chinese, could not remove Berlusconi from his passion for football. In 2018, he bought Monza, a team that played in Serie C, and together with Galliani in 2022, they managed to climb it to Serie A for the first time in history.
The team surprised the elite and ended the season in the middle of the ranking. It was the last miracle of Berlusconi, the man who changed football.
