Milan’s 2025 Season Outlook
Milan finished as the Serie A runner-up in 2024 but experienced a tough season in 2025. Despite a managerial change with Sérgio Conceição replacing Paulo Fonseca, the club struggled to make significant progress. While Milan won the Super Cup, they were knocked out early in the Champions League and finished a disappointing eighth in Serie A. Their hopes of salvaging the season were dashed after a final loss to Bologna in the Coppa Italia.
In terms of squad changes, Milan saw more departures than arrivals, but they still added Luka Modrić in the summer, along with new signings like De Winter and Aebischer.
Cremonese’s Journey Back to Serie A
Cremonese, a club from Lombardy, was relegated from Serie A in 2022 but bounced back quickly. They secured fourth place in the Serie B playoffs and, after a tough fight, earned promotion. Cremonese’s run in Serie B was impressive, with Giovanni Stroppa leading them to a playoff victory. However, Stroppa left for Venezia, and Davide Nicola took over.
The club’s promotion was built on a balanced performance, with 1.64 goals scored and 1.14 goals conceded per match. While Milan finished second in Serie A, Cremonese is now back in the top flight and aiming to prove themselves.
