Monza president Silvio Berlusconi has promised the club's players "a bus of whores" if they beat Serie A big boys AC Milan or Juventus later this season.
On Wednesday, a video emerged on social media of the former Italian Prime Minister talking about the rather crude incentive. At a Christmas dinner with the team on Tuesday, he said (quotes via Reuters):
"I told the guys ... now you will play Milan, Juventus. If you win against one of these top teams, I'll bring a bus of whores into the locker room."
To anyone familiar with Berlusconi's history, these remarks will come as no surprise: the 86-year-old – who owned AC Milan for more than three decades – gained notoriety for his 'bunga bunga' sex parties.
Under Berlusconi's ownership, Monza gained promotion to Serie A for the first time in their history last term, triumphing in the Serie B play-offs.
They return to action in the New Year with a trip to Fiorentina; they also travel to Juventus (who they beat 1-0 at home in September) twice in January – in the Coppa Italia then the league – before hosting Milan in February.
