On the sidelines of the Italian basketball cup semi-final between Milan and Venice, the CEO of Monza and former CEO of AC Milan, Adriano Galliani told an anecdote linked to the Rossoneri to La Gazzetta dello Sport's microphones. Here is what he said:
"Berlusconi is an innovator and we thought that the coach had to be first of all a motivator. We did consider coach Dan Peterson an innovator and a man of great talent, so much so that sports are the same in terms of motivation and we thought he could learn certain aspects. The coach told us no. and we took Sacchi. We went well anyway."
