After averaging 6th place finishes between 2012 and 2020, the Rossoneri are back where they belong, holders of the Italian title and riding high with an impressive, young squad, and poised to make a splash in the Champions League once again. But now the club has been sold to American investment firm RedBird Capital, and many are wondering whether the team built by Paolo Maldini and Ivan Gazidis will continue to thrive with the plan which has brought stars like Leao, Tomori, Tonali, and Bennacer to Milan, or whether it will return to the chaos of 5 years ago.
On today’s EFD Explained, we look at the club’s path to this point, and RedBird’s plans for the future. Let us know how you think Pioli and co will fare under new ownership in the comments.

Stefano Pioli has never won a major trophy in nearly 20 years of management at 14 separate clubs. But with AC Milan on the brink of a historic Serie A crown, that could all be about to change. Beat Sassuolo and the title is theirs. Should that happen, it will mark an extraordinary turnaround for both Pioli and Rossineri, who have had much to prove together.
So how has the Italian turned Milan into title challengers? In our latest Euro Football Daily Explained, we look at his calming impact on the squad, and see how he managed to lift the mood at San Siro following the disastrous reign of Marco Giampaolo as coach.
We marvel at his quality work in the transfer market, alongside the astute Paolo Maldini, plus explore the results and players that have made Milan a major force once more.

AC Milan will face Liverpool in the Champions League final after crushing Manchester United at the San Siro.
Milan started the semi-final 3-2 down but were ahead on away goals after just 11 minutes when Clarence Seedorf headed down for Kaka to drill into the corner.
Seedorf capitalised on confusion in the United defence to fire in a second after half an hour.
And substitute Alberto Gilardino broke away to wrap up an easy win as United limped out in disappointing fashion.
The result ended United’s dreams of repeating their 1999 Treble, but they can have no complaints after being totally outclassed by their Italian opponents.
Sir Alex Ferguson named Nemanja Vidic in his starting line-up after the defender’s recovery from a broken collarbone but the Serb, like his colleagues, was overwhelmed by Milan’s superior passing and movement in wet conditions.
The thunderous skies only added to the intimidating atmosphere at the San Siro, and when Milan began at a blistering pace, United were simply awestruck.
The hosts threatened in the very first minute when Kaka delivered a dangerous ball across goal, after three minutes when Seedorf forced Edwin van der Sar to tip over and again on seven minutes when Kaka shot straight at the United keeper.
The goal, then, was no more than Milan deserved, Seedorf nodding the ball down for Kaka to hammer home his 10th Champions League goal of the season.
United’s much-vaunted attack was proving toothless.
Cristiano Ronaldo, who started on the left, was hardly in the game, Ryan Giggs was similarly anonymous, while Wayne Rooney’s touch deserted him.
The England striker was guilty of giving the ball away on numerous occasions but at least his errors were nowhere near as catastrophic as Gabriel Heinze’s moment of madness.
As United tried to play their way out of defence, the left-back inexplicably passed back to Vidic, who then compounded his team-mate’s error by slipping as he scrambled to clear.
Milan regained possession and the ball eventually fell for Seedorf, who rode Vidic’s challenge before finding the same corner as Kaka.
At half-time, optimistic United fans might have pointed to their side’s recovery from two goals down in the 1999 semi-final against Juventus in Turin, but Milan were simply too good for such lacklustre opponents.
United had far more possession in the second half but rarely threatened a calm and composed Milan defence nor did they manage to test Milan’s out-of-form keeper Dida.
Rooney finally found an accurate pass to set up Darren Fletcher, but he skewed wide and that was as good a chance as United fashioned.
And Milan booked a repeat of the 2005 final against Liverpool when Gilardino galloped through a gaping hole in the United defence and stroked the ball past a stranded Van der Sar.
Man Utd: Van der Sar, O’Shea (Saha 77), Brown, Vidic, Heinze, Ronaldo, Fletcher, Scholes, Carrick, Giggs, Rooney.
Subs Not Used: Kuszczak, Ferdinand, Smith, Solskjaer, Richardson, Eagles.
Booked: Ronaldo.

On today’s video, we look at 3 signings who could transform Milan into more serious players in the Champions League!
This season could be a historic one for Milan, with the Rossoneri currently battling for their first scudetto in over a decade. If they can manage it, it will spell the first truly great achievement of the Ivan Gazidis era, one which has seen the club transform its transfer policy, begin to turn around their financial situation, and strike gold with the appointment of Stefano Pioli, their longest-serving manager since Max Allegri left the San Siro in 2014.
But they are far from the finished product. Their title challenge has come despite deficiencies existing in multiple areas of the squad, while they also finished bottom of an admittedly tough Champions League group despite some admirable performances against the likes of Liverpool and Atletico Madrid. If they want to become a force in Europe and consolidate themselves at the top of Serie A, then signings need to be made this summer. Let’s take a look at three players who could upgrade Pioli’s squad.

Hello and welcome back to EFD Explained where today we are profiling the man behind Milan’s resurgence as a footballing force, Paolo Maldini.
Not satisfied with being considered one of the greatest players of all time and gazing at his 5 Champions League winners medals, Maldini has set about transforming Milan in his role as Technical Director. Targeting younger, hungrier players, the Rossoneri have built a squad the envy of world football which seem to be establishing Milan as an Italian powerhouse once again.
How did he do it and what are his secrets? This video aims to answer both…

It was a time for a trip down memory lane as the Liverpool Legends met Barcelona at Anfield, with Steven Gerrard providing plenty of nostalgia during the 2-1 defeat.
The stress that accompanies Jurgen Klopp‘s Reds forgotten, a wave of nostalgia instead took its place as Liverpool’s heroes of the past took centre stage.
They might not have looked how they once did, a few grey hairs here and there and perhaps the kit did not fit as comfortably, but entertainment followed at a packed Anfield.
The mood was jovial as families took their place in the stands, with no doubt many seeing the hallowed Anfield turf for the first time – a moment that can be easy to take for granted.
But those in Red had seen it a time or two before, Steven Gerrard, Jamie Carragher, Luis Garcia, Dirk Kuyt and Sami Hyypia to name but a few.
It may not have been at the blistering pace that we have grown accustomed to, but it’d be hard to question Gerrard as a regular, the touch and the presence all still very much there.
And it’s what earned him the first-half penalty that he, of course, converted with no problem at all – much to the delight of the Reds faithful. The clock was turned back and his name rung out from the stands with gusto.
The kid inside certainly had heart-eyes at that moment.
Carragher then took to rolling on the ground behind the wall for a free-kick, you’d expect that one to pop up on Sky Sports thanks to his new bestie Gary Neville!
With the tanks running low, Giovanni, one of three No. 10s for Barcelona, was able to get on the scoresheet – and a few boos in good jest directed his way, as that was not part of the script.
Gerrard was then the only one to emerge for the second half as Kenny Dalglish and Ian Rush made 10 changes – bet Burnley and Sean Dyche were grumbling away at that one!
The certifiable legend that is Rivaldo then had to blast home a thunderous penalty and Jerzy Dudek had no chance – his goalline magic not doing the trick on this occasion.
The mix of generations was a joy to behold, even if at times it could have been mistaken for a basketball game given the ever-changing faces on and off the bench.
Liverpool Legends First Half XI: Westerveld, Johnson, Kvarme, Hyypia, Agger, Carragher; Gerrard, Aurelio, Diao, Garcia; Kuyt
Liverpool Legends Second Half XI: Dudek; Enrique, McAteer, Baros, Babb, McManaman, Smicer, Berger, Gerrard, Rodriguez, Downing
