Original retro vintage football shirt AC Milan 1997/98

AC Milan had a second consecutive disastrous season. Fabio Capello returned as coach, following the dismal second half of the 1996–97 league campaign, but failed to turn the corner, and Milan was a shadow of the team he had left the year before. With Capello's reputation seemingly ruined, he was sacked at the end of the season, with Milan finishing a mere 10th in the league.

It was the club's first season since 1976–77 not to feature captain Franco Baresi, who retired at the end of the previous campaign.
