1996-1998

There were the years 1996 – 97 after Fabio Capello left the squad Ac Milan recruits the Uruguayan coach Oscar Tabarez. This move did not bring the results that were hoped for the club as the results were poor and they lost their first matches. To get back to the old glory days the club reassumed the favourite coach of President Berlusconi, Arrigo Sacchi as the club manager and coach. This resulted in the worst defeat game in the Seria A, a 1 – 6 defeat against Juventus in San Siro. To recover from the nightmare they were living Ac Milan than signed new players like: Ibrahim Ba, Christophe Dugarry and Edgar Davids. This did not bring any good as they finished in 11th place in Seria A. In 1997 – 98 Arrigo Sacchi was replaced by the return of Fabio Capello, whose team signed a lot of potentially star players as: Christian Ziege, Patrick Kluivert, Jesper Blomqvist and the Brazilian Leonardo. Even so Milan finished 10th in Seria A leading to Fabio Capello departure.
