Description
Amazing AC Milan third shirt as worn in the season 1996-1997, with Roberto Baggio #18 on the back.
The 1996-97 season was a disappointing one for AC Milan, as they finished 11th in Serie A, far below expectations. After Fabio Capello’s departure, new manager Óscar Tabárez struggled, leading to his dismissal mid-season, with Arrigo Sacchi returning but unable to turn things around. Despite talents like Baggio, Weah, and Maldini, Milan crashed out early in Europe and the Coppa Italia, marking a season of turbulence and underachievement.
Roberto Baggio was one of Italy’s most gifted footballers, known for his elegant dribbling, vision, and clinical finishing. After spells at Fiorentina and Juventus, he joined AC Milan in 1995, helping them win Serie A in his first season. Despite struggles for consistency and competition for places, Baggio remained a key creative force before moving to Bologna in 1997, where he revived his career ahead of the 1998 World Cup.
