Official: ‘Milan Futuro’ project announced after completion of Serie C registration

AC Milan have now also officially confirmed that they will have a second team in Serie C from next season onwards, but it will not be called simply ‘Milan U23’.

On their official website, the club have announced that they have formally received – following the decisions made by the Federal Council of the FIGC – approval for the registration of a B-team in the next Serie C Now season.

It will be a team centred around ‘talented young players’ which will be named ‘Milan Futuro’. The acceptance of the registration application has thus completed the roster of 60 teams that will participate in the Championship managed by Lega Pro in the 2024-25 season.

The project was created with ‘the main objective of enhancing the talent of young players’ who have grown up in the youth sector with the aim of helping their ‘physical-athletic maturation process’ by playing against adult teams.

Daniele Bonera will be the head coach of the side, a former defender who made 201 appearances for the Rossoneri over nine seasons and obtained the UEFA PRO qualification after attending the course in Coverciano in 2020.
