AC MONZA MOURNS THE PASSING OF NICOLA COLOMBO


AC Monza joins the Colombo family in mourning the passing of Nicola Colombo, former President of the Club and a pivotal figure in the recent history of the Biancorossi.

A Brianza-based entrepreneur, on 2nd July 2015 he acquired A.C. Monza Brianza through a bankruptcy auction, founding S.S.D. Monza 1912 and bringing the Club back to professional football. Under his presidency, the Biancorossi won Group B of Serie D in the 2016/17 season with 80 points, also capturing the Serie D national title and returning to Lega Pro just two years after the bankruptcy.

His intervention proved decisive in allowing Monza to continue its more than century-long history during the most difficult moment for the Club. On 28th September 2018, he sold the Club to Fininvest, paving the way for a new era that ultimately culminated in the historic promotion to Serie A.

The Club extends its deepest condolences and affection to the Colombo family.

In his memory, a moment of commemoration will take place before today’s match against Empoli and the team will wear black armbands.

Goodbye, Nicola.
