Interview with AC Monza's sporting director: "Suddenly everyone started calling us - players, agents, the media and, of course, it became much easier to attract new sponsors"

Filippo Antonelli, sporting director at Berlusconi-owned AC Monza, reveals what the new owner and leadership team have brought to the club. And it is not just cash.

Obviously, money is a crucial factor, but according to Antonelli, it is something else that is driving all the major changes at the club.

Keeping up with 76-year-old Adriano Galliani, the former CEO of AC Milan and current chairman of AC Monza, takes a lot of energy, explains the sporting director.

The AC Monza squad underwent a complete overhaul in January 2020 with no fewer than 32 deals being completed in which 13 players left the club and 19 arrived.

Heavy investments have allowed the club to refurbish training facilities, redevelop the stadium, and modernise the general setup of the club.
