During the 1963–64 season Milan Associazione Calcio competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia, European Cup and Intercontinental Cup.
Summary
In the 1963-1964 season, Milan started under the helm of coach Luis Carniglia, who led Real Madrid to victory in the European Cup against the Rossoneri six years earlier; the Argentine was supported by technical director Giuseppe Viani. Carniglia's adventure, however, was short: he was, in fact, sacked in March 1964 and replaced by Nils Liedholm. Strengthened by the signing of Amarildo, Milan ended the Serie A season in third place behind champions Bologna and Inter, equaling Juventus' record of the most away wins (11) in 18-team championships. In the European Cup, after beating Norrköping in the round of 16, the Rossoneri were eliminated in the quarter-finals by Real Madrid: a 2-0 victory at San Siro was not enough to overturn the 4-1 defeat suffered in Spain. Also in the Italian Cup Milan exited in the quarterfinals, this time at the hands of Fiorentina.
Furthermore, this season Milan lost the Intercontinental Cup at the Maracanã against Pelé's Santos (1-0) at the end of a play-off match made necessary after the first and the second leg had ended with a score of 4-2 for the Rossoneri and the Brazilians respectively. The two matches won by Santos were notable for the suspected doping of the Brazilians, as well as for the controversial refereeing of the Argentine Juan Regis Brozzi, who was suspected of having been corrupted by the South American club, and was later banned by his federation.[2][3]
In 1963, the first official monthly magazine entirely dedicated to Milan was founded, called Forza Milan!.[4]
