Reuters reported that former Italian Prime Minister Sylvio Berlusconi passed away today (June 12). Besides his political career, Mr. Berlusconi was also famous in the football world as the President of AC Milan Club.
The Italian politician bought AC Milan in 1986 when the team was on the verge of bankruptcy. Berlusconi's investments helped AC Milan return to its position as the leading club in Italy and European football. During the Berlusconi era, AC Milan won 8 Serie A titles, 1 Italian Cup, 5 Champions League titles and 5 European Super Cups.
