During the 1986–87 season, Milan Associazione Calcio competed in Serie A and Coppa Italia.

Summary

The official season began in August, with the Rossoneri concluding the group stage of the Coppa Italia in second place, behind Parma. In Serie A, despite two initial defeats, the team emerged at a distance: with the victory in Como in the last game of the first half of the season (thanks to Maldini's first goal in Serie A), Milan found themselves only three points behind leaders Napoli. Later there was a crisis of results, dropped Milan from the top positions of the standings. In the Coppa Italia, they were eliminated by Parma (after a 0–1 defeat in San Siro and a 0–0 draw in Parma): the Emilian coach was Arrigo Sacchi, alteady appointed as new coach by the management for the following season.[2]

Meanwhile, in the league, Fabio Capello (previously assistant coach) replaced sacked coach Nils Liedholm. Guided by the goals from top-scorer Virdis, the team finished level on points with Sampdoria. Thus, a play-off was necessary to determine who would access next season's UEFA Cup. Milan won the game 1–0.[3] At the end of the season, the team won the third edition of the Mundialito tournament.
