By now it is no secret that Boston Celtics co-Governor Stephen Pagliuca is not just a fan of European football (better known stateside as “soccer”), but also an active participant in Italian Series A football as part owner of Atalanta, the professional football club which is based in Bergamo, Lombardy, Italy.
Pagliuca has also been tied to other football clubs in Europe, most famously after getting involved in the bidding process for Premier League club Chelsea, but also more recently being rumored as having an interest in buying either Liverpool football club or Manchester United.
