5 stories and 75 matches from the Milan Club Adelaide history museum, in the order they happened.
1977
In the summer of 1977 Milan turned to Nils Liedholm, the elegant Swede who two decades earlier had been the 'Li' of the fabled Gre-No-Li forward line. As a coach he brought a patient, cultured brand of football and a rare eye for youth, leaning on the ageing genius of Gianni Rivera while blooding teenagers like Franco Baresi. Within two seasons 'il Barone' would deliver the prize the whole club craved.
1976-77 season
Fulvio Collovati, born in the Friulian village of Teor and raised in Milan's youth system, broke into the first team as a teenager during the grim 1976-77 campaign — one bright promise in a season spent glancing nervously at the drop zone. Tall, quick and clean in the tackle, he matured with startling speed, and by 1978-79 he was the first-choice stopper of the Stella defence, guarding Albertosi's goal beside the even younger Franco Baresi. The seventies made him; the eighties would crown him a world champion and then, painfully, carry him across the city to Inter.

Serie A 1976-77
Milan's worst league campaign in decades saw the club languish near the drop zone, finishing around tenth after coach Giuseppe Marchioro was sacked and the elderly Nereo Rocco returned to steady the ship one final time. The season was redeemed in the Coppa Italia, where Milan beat Inter 2-0 in the final — the last trophy of the Rocco lineage. The scare made plain that root-and-branch renewal was overdue.

29 May 1977
Born on 29 May 1977 in Pesaro, Massimo Ambrosini rose through Milan's youth ranks to become a one-club man across nearly two decades, embodying the values of the Rossoneri as few others have. A tenacious, intelligent central midfielder, he won Champions League titles in 2003 and 2007 and multiple Serie A crowns, ultimately inheriting the captaincy after Paolo Maldini's retirement. His longevity, professionalism and quiet leadership made him one of the club's most respected modern servants.

3 July 1977
The first all-Milanese Coppa Italia final was settled in Milan, where Aldo Maldera's strike set Milan on the way to a 2-0 defeat of Inter at the Stadio Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. In a decade of league mediocrity, the derby final gave the rossoneri their fourth Coppa Italia — and a last trophy from the twilight of the Nereo Rocco era, with the old paròn back at the club in his final season on the Milan bench. Played at San Siro on 3 July 1977, the final was settled by Maldera in the 64th minute and Braglia in the 89th — Milan's fourth Coppa Italia, in Nereo Rocco's last season on the bench.
