AC MONZA AND AFFILIATED CLUBS: ONE SHARED PROJECT, ONE IDENTITY

On the evening of Monday, November 9th, 2026, the second training session dedicated entirely to AC Monza Affiliated Clubs took place.

The Centro Sportivo Silvio and Luigi Berlusconi-Monzello welcomed more than 65 Technical Coordinators and coaches, while over 100 participants joined remotely from across Italy, from Trieste to Caltagirone, including Sardinia, Calabria and Lazio. A significant turnout, highlighting the breadth of the biancorossi network of Affiliated Clubs and the quality of the work being carried out every day across the country.

The session was led by Alberto Giacomini, Head of Methodology at AC Monza, who explored the principles underpinning the Club’s methodology Monza Drive, encouraging participants to share the values that define the biancorosso project. The starting point was a fundamental concept: football is not just a sport, but also a powerful tool for promoting and spreading a sporting culture.

Giacomini then focused on how Monza Drive can be adapted to the different Affiliated Clubs. Each Club has its own specific characteristics, resources and needs, particularly within a network as broad and diverse as the biancorossi family. For this reason, a methodology cannot be seen as a one-size-fits-all formula. It must first be understood and then adapted to the specific characteristics of each organisation, so that its principles can be genuinely shared and put into practice in everyday activities.

Another particularly significant contribution came from Mauro Fattori, Head of AC Monza’s Youth Academy, whose presence highlighted the strong connection between the Club’s Youth Academy and its Affiliated Clubs. Fattori reiterated that, in AC Monza’s vision, the Affiliated Clubs Programme represents an organic and integrated extension of the Youth Academy. It is therefore not simply a network of partnerships, but a unified project built on shared principles, objectives and values, capable of overcoming any geographical distance.

Training and the development of coaches are fundamental pillars of the AC Monza Affiliated Clubs Programme, but they are not its only goals. The project also aims to nurture the footballers of tomorrow and build a shared identity, strengthening the sense of belonging to the biancorossi colours. A bond that extends beyond the pitch, bringing together people, families, Clubs and communities in a common project.

A shared journey of growth that continues with one clear objective: to feel part of one big biancorossi family.
