1970–71 AC Milan season
During the 1970–1971 season Milan Associazione Calcio competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.
Summary
Nereo Rocco was confirmed as coach of the team for the 1970–71 season. During the transfer market,
The season began with the three matches of the first round of the Coppa Italia, where Milan, in group 4 with Brescia, Mantova and Varese, obtained as many victories, thus qualifying for the quarter-finals.[citation needed]
In the league, Milan, after two draws in the first 2 games, obtained five consecutive victories, and moved to second place in the standings behind Napoli, also thanks to the victory in Turin against Juventus for 2–0 and in the derby with Inter for 3–0. On the 10th round, the Rossoneri beat the Neapolitans at the San Paolo (0–1, then 0–2 on a resolution by the sports judge for the throwing of firecrackers on the pitch by Napoli fans)
The season ended, between May and June 1971, with the matches of the final round of the Coppa Italia, which Milan entered after eliminating Livorno in the quarter-finals (2–0 home win at the end of September and 4–0 away in early November). The Rossoneri, in the group with Fiorentina, Napoli and Torino, obtained three wins, one draw and two defeats and finished in first place in the standings with 7 points, tied with Torino. For the trophy to be awarded, a play-off between Milan and Turin was necessary, which took place on 27 June 1971 at the Ferraris Stadium in Genoa; Torino, after the 0–0 draw in the overtime, won on penalties by 5–3 and thus won their fourth Coppa Italia.[4] Gianni Rivera, who in the play-off missed two out of five penalties (the regulation of the time, in fact, allowed more than one consecutive penalty to be kicked by a single player), was the top scorer of the competition, with seven goals, for the second time in his career.
Shortly before the end of the season, Franco Carraro left the position of president of the company, which was taken on by Federico Sordillo, previously vice-president of the club.[citation needed]
