Moratti was unable to breathe autonomously, prompting doctors to intubate and put him into intensive care.

Indeed, he is at the Istituto Humanitas di Rozzano hospital. Luckily, doctors are confident his condition is not currently critical.

Hopefully, with careful monitoring and treatment, he will make a full recovery.

One of the most iconic presidents in Serie A history, Moratti won 16 trophies during his tenure at San Siro.

He took over ownership from Ernesto Pellegrini in 1995 before selling the club to Erick Tohir in 2013.
