Galliani's departure is related to the sale of Monza, which has been completed. The sale was announced on July 1, 2025, and it has been carried out by Fininvest and Beckett Layne Ventures (BLV). BLV now owns 80% of the club, while Fininvest retains a 20% stake, which will be transferred to BLV by June 2026.
Galliani expressed his decision as a "difficult choice," but one that will allow him to focus on other activities and give the new ownership and management team room to work on their projects. One of these projects is to help Monza achieve its goal of returning to Serie A, a historic milestone that the club achieved under Fininvest's management.
The sale of Monza marks the end of the Berlusconi family's era at the club, which began in 2019 and reached its peak with the club's first historic promotion to Serie A.
