1995–96 AC Milan season

AC Milan
1995–96 season
President	Silvio Berlusconi
Manager	Fabio Capello
Stadium	San Siro
Serie A	1st
Coppa Italia	Quarter-finals
UEFA Cup	Quarter-finals
Top goalscorer	League: George Weah (11); All: George Weah (17)

AC Milan got back to the level at which it had performed in consecutive seasons between 1992 and 1994, resulting in the domestic league title. It had reacted to its unexpected fall from grace in 1994-95 with signing George Weah and Roberto Baggio for the attack. Despite Baggio not performing at his customary Juventus level, a tight defence landed the title for the Milanese club.

Following the season, Fabio Capello eventually left the club in order to join Spanish La Liga giants Real Madrid as a new manager.
