During the 1983–84 season, Milan Associazione Calcio competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.

Summary

[edit]

Back to Serie A, Milan were set for a transition season. The transfer session in summer 1983 began with a contested decision of president Farina, to not keep the former Interisti who had done so well in the previous season, especially Serena and Pasinato, for whom the fans clamored for reconfirmation. Thus, the two returned to the Nerazzurri. Scottish forward Jordan also left the club. The main signing of the summer was that of Luther Blissett. The Watford striker was the First Division's top goalscorer the previous season, with 27 goals. Expectations were high for him, but he did not meet them over the course of the season, and he rather became infamous for his many mistakes from a short distance to the opponent's goal.[2] Also signed that season were Eric Gerets, captain of the Belgian national team, and Luciano Spinosi from Verona. Another debut in the first team directly from the prolific Rossoneri youth team was that of Filippo Galli. Milan season went on with a certain tranquility, with the club maintaining a stable position in the mid of the table. In March, coach Ilario Castagner, guilty of having made an agreement with Inter for the coming season, was sacked by president Farina after a 2-2 draw against Fiorentina. Farina would later declare: "I would have never imagined organizing the next transfer campaign with the future coach of Inter." It is the eve of a delicate home game against Napoli. Italo Galbiati was once again selected as the new coach, but the team suffered the psychological backlash and lost 0-2. Farina was challenged openly by the public for the first time and was forced to leave the grandstand during the interval. In the Coppa Italia, Milan was eliminated in the quarter-finals by Roma, after two heated matches (1-1 at the Stadio Olimpico and 1-2 at the San Siro), which then went on to win the trophy.
