Ac Milan The History
The club was founded in 1899 under the name of Milan Cricket and
Football club, and the first official headquarters was the
Fiaschetteria Toscana of Via Breschet. The first President was Mr.
Edwards, who was partnered by Herbert Kilpin who chose the official
club colours. On the 4th of April 1900 the first official match was
played, a 3-0 defeat against the Torinese. The following year the first
Scudetto was won, followed by two others in 1906 and 1907, years in
which the Cricket part was removed from the name of the team. In the
1940s the team took the definite name of AC Milan, but it was in the
1950s that the team returned to winning ways thanks to the purchases of
players such as Liedhol, Gren and Nordahl. In the following decade two
more affirmations arrived, which brought other important signatures
like those of Schiaffino, Altafini, Rivera and leader Nereo Rocco. Also
at international level great successes arrived, such as on the 22nd of
May 1963, when Milan won the Champions Cup in London. These were also
the years of Rivera, who became the undisputable leader and flag of the
team. The results of the 1970s were less brilliant, but the worst
moment in the rossoneri’s history arrived in 1980, when the club was
involved in the ‘totonero’ scandal and relegated to Serie B. President
Colombo was banned for life, leaving his position to Morazzoni, who
immediately took the team back to Serie A. The return was not a happy
one, and a 14th place finish relegated the rossoneri once again. The
club fell in the hands of another owner, Farina, who took Milan back to
Serie A and helped them to stay in the top positions of the league, but
the definite change arrived in 1986, when the club was bought by Silvio
Berlusconi, who in the next twenty years built one of the most
successful teams in the history of football. There was the Sacchi
cycle, the arrival of Gullit, Rijkaard and Van Basten, the domestic and
international victories, and then the arrival of Capello who continued
from where his predecessor had left off, taking Milan to the top of the
world. Zaccheroni, who won the tricolore in his first season, and then
Ancelotti, able to win two Champions League, and a Scudetto, gave
continuity to the team.
