History
editAC Milan's reserve team was admitted to Serie C on 27 June 2024 to fill a vacancy created by Ancona's exclusion. With Daniele Bonera as their inaugural head coach, the team was registered under the denomination of Milan Futuro (Future Milan).[4] For their first season, the team was put into Girone B of Serie C, usually intended for teams from Central Italy, due to the presence of other reserves team from Northern Italy in their respective group (Girone A). This was due to not saturate a single group with too many professional reserves teams.[5]
