"It would be fair to say the Milan Futuro project has not gone entirely to plan for AC Milan so far, at least on the field. As La Gazzetta dello Sport write, the Futuro are hoping to avenge their relegation to Serie D via the play-offs in their debut season by getting instant promotion. Yet, 13 points separate Massimo Oddo's side from top spot at the moment, the only place in the league guaranteed promotion."
"Oddo's team currently sit seventh in Group B, two points shy of the final play-off spot. In short, their chances are slim and the margin for error is minimal. Among the options on the table is a repechage: a path not guaranteed, but one in which Milan Futuro could start with an advantage. This scenario inevitably raises the question of how the repechages from Serie D to Serie C work."
Milan Futuro aims to return to professional football (Serie C) immediately after relegation to Serie D but currently sit seventh in Group B, two points off the final play-off spot and 13 points behind the top. Direct promotion via winning the league or play-offs appears unlikely and leaves little margin for error. Promotion after failure on the pitch depends on federal readmission procedures. Serie C clubs must submit membership applications by mid-June with full documentation. Vacant Serie C places from rejected applications lead to repechage, with priority given to second teams of Serie A clubs, then Serie C and Serie D clubs, making promotion contingent on exclusions among Serie C sides.
