Monza owner Silvio Berlusconi has promised his players sex workers if they beat Serie A giants AC Milan or Juventus in the new year.
The Italian minnows are competing in Serie A for the first time in their history this season after winning the second tier play-offs last term. They've won five of their first 15 league games to sit 14th in the table - nine points clear of the relegation zone.
Berlusconi's unsavoury remarks, however, have raised eyebrows. He made the comments at Monza's Christmas dinner party. "I told the guys... now you will play Milan, Juventus," he said, as quoted by The Guardian. "If you win against one of these top teams, I’ll bring a bus of w***** [sex workers] into the locker room."
