Former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi has raised eyebrows by offering his AC Monza players prostitutes if they beat AC Milan or Juventus.
The newly promoted club’s owner was Prime Minister on three occasions and owned Italian giants AC Milan from 1986 to 2017, took over at Monza in 2018.
And the controversial 86-year-old has caused shock once again as he promised stars a ‘bus full of wh***s’ if they beat any more Serie A giants this season.

Media tycoon Berlusconi, was speaking at the club’s official Christmas dinner party on Tuesday evening.
He took the microphone, praised the work of head coach Raffaele Palladino, who he promoted from being Under-19 coach to the top job after sacking Giovanni Stroppa in September.
But he didn’t stop there and went on to make the bawdy vow, to widespread laughter among the listening audience.
Monza currently lie 14th in Serie A, nine points clear of the relegation zone in the top-flight
Berlusconi said: ‘We found a new coach, who was at our youth team, he is good, smart, kind, and able to stimulate (motivate) our lads.
‘I decided to add an extra stimulation, so I told the lads you will play Milan, Juventus, etc, so if you beat one of these big teams, I will have you greeted in the locker room by a bus full of wh***s.’
Monza, who were bottom when Stroppa was dismissed, currently lie 14th in the Italian top-flight, nine points clear of the relegation zone.
