AC Milan have paid tribute to “unforgettable” former owner Silvio Berlusconi following his death at the age of 86 on Monday.
Berlusconi bought his hometown club in 1986 and turned the struggling side into one of football’s most successful clubs.
Under his leadership, Milan won five European Cups, as well as eight Italian league titles.
In 2017, he sold the club to Chinese investors for 740m euros (£628m).
Milan tweeted: “Deeply saddened, AC Milan grieves the passing of the unforgettable Silvio Berlusconi and wishes to reach out to the family, associates, and most cherished friends to share our sympathies.”
