AC Milan ruled in the 1990’s with several of the world biggest stars which included Frank Rijkard, Ruud Gullit,Pablo Maldini and Franco Baresi among others,winning won four league titles between 1991-92 and 1995-96.
The turn of the century saw many titanic clashes with the elite in world football which included Leeds united, Barcelona, Liverpool, Real Madrid among others with the notable one being the uefa Champions League final against Liverpool in a game they eventually lost on penalties.
The President of the club, Silvio Berlusconi suffered losses in the earlier decade which affected the finance of the club as this prompted some well established stars like Clarence Seedorf, Mark Van Bommel, Zlantan Ibramovic,Thiago Silva, Filipo Inzaghi and Alessandro Nesta among others who left the club for huge transfer fees.
Massimiliano Allegri was tasked with the job of managing during this difficult period from the year 2010-2014 but couldn’t succeed at the club.
AC Milan placed 10th in the 2014/2015 league season and the Rossoneri’s failure to qualify for the uefa champions league or the Europa League prompted the sack of their legendary striker Filipo Inzaghi who was by then the head coach.
The star man of this resurgent team has certainly got to be Colombian striker Carlos Bacca, a player they acquired from Sevilla FC for a 30 Millon euros. Bacca has already scored 14-goals in all competition is looking a very good purchase for the Italian giants as many top European club are seeking for the services of the Colombian forward.
Former Fiorentina player and now manager, Sinisa Mihajlovic has a tremendous record during his playing career in the Italian Serie A, scoring 28-goals from free kick during his fourteen years in Italian football. The Serbian will be looking forward to replicate his success in the Serie A for AC Milan especially in his quest to return the red-and-black to European football next season.
