AC Milan’s season has taken a disappointing turn despite a summer that promised a rebuild. The club invested heavily, whether in transfer fees or compensation payments, yet poor timing has undermined those efforts.
Winter signings appeared to be a desperate attempt to restore credibility, but they have yet to deliver results. Many believe Milan should have made those investments before the season started, rather than scrambling mid-season to fix deeper issues.
Additionally, the decision to part ways with Paulo Fonseca came too late, making it even harder to salvage the campaign. His successor, Sergio Conceição, has struggled to turn things around, but responsibility does not rest solely on him. Club management also bears blame for the chaotic situation.
Following Milan’s recent loss to Lazio, Gazzetta dello Sport raised an intriguing question: Could this difficult season ultimately benefit the club in the long run?
The Rossoneri face a massive wage bill, and missing out on European competition would only make financial matters worse. Yet some wonder if a season without European commitments could actually help Milan reset and rebuild more effectively.
For now, the situation remains dire. Whether this season’s failures will lead to future success—or are simply another setback—remains to be seen.
