"Since the 2021-22 season, AC Milan has gradually scaled back their goals, with historic rivals winning every season except for the Supercoppa Italiana in January 2025, leading to a focus on merely achieving a top-four finish."
"The decline began with Gerry Cardinale's RedBird Capital fund and the new post-Elliott management, which saw the firing of Paolo Maldini and sporting director Ricky Massara, marking the start of a new era."
"Despite significant investments and the sale of Sandro Tonali, Milan was eliminated in the Champions League group stage and finished second in the league behind Inter, who won the Scudetto."
"The arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic as Senior Advisor has not helped the situation; instead, his technical decisions contributed to a disappointing eighth-place finish last season."
Since RedBird Capital's takeover, AC Milan has seen a decline in performance, winning no trophies and celebrating only top-four finishes. The decline began with the new management after Paolo Maldini's departure. Despite significant investments and player acquisitions, Milan has struggled in European competitions and finished behind rivals Inter in the league. The arrival of Zlatan Ibrahimovic as Senior Advisor has not improved the situation, leading to an eighth-place finish last season. New appointments aim to rectify the ongoing issues, but the cycle of underachievement continues.
