During the 1960–61 season Associazione Calcio Milan competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and Coppa dell'Amicizia.
Summary
[edit]The transfer market of the summer of 1960 led to a revolution: the club purchased the sixteen-year-old Gianni Rivera from Alessandria; from that season on, the young talent would have tied his career solely to Milan. Among the other signings were those of Santiago Vernazza, Mario David and Paolo Barison. After six season with the Rossoneri, Juan Alberto Schiaffino left the club, followed by Grillo, Gastone Bean and Giancarlo Danova.
Milan, led by Paolo Todeschini (former player with the club in the 1940s) and Giuseppe Viani (as technical director), finished the Serie A season in second place behind champion Juventus, despite the victory over the Bianconeri in both league matches and 22 goals from José Altafini. With 4 goals, the Brazilian became top scorer in the 1960-61 Coppa Italia which ended, for the Devils, in the round of 16. Milan won the Coppa dell'Amicizia, as part of the Italian team, against a selection of French clubs.
At the end of the season, captain Nils Liedholm ended his career as a footballer to begin the one as coach. The following year, the Swede will sit as an assistant on the Milan bench. The captaincy passed to Francesco Zagatti who will hand it over after a few months to Cesare Maldini.
