A.C. Milan had a troubled season, with the president Farina going in exile to South Africa, suspected for stealing money from the club. At the end of the season Silvio Berlusconi bought the club, bringing it into a new era that was to be the most successful one in Italian footballing history.
On the pitch, Milan finished 7th in the national championship, having severe problems with the goalscoring.
