History
Although there have been previous women's team located in Milan that used the name and colors as the men's AC Milan club, AC Milan Women is the first to have any connection to the men's club which established membership in Serie A Women's championship. Previous teams that used the name and colors of AC Milan include the Associazione Calcio Femminile Milan started in 1965, the Associazione Calcio Femminile Milan 82 founded in 1982, and the more recent Football Milan Ladies begun in 2013. On 11 June 2018 AC Milan announced that participation in the Serie A Women's championship after acquiring the rights to A.C.F Brescia.[6]
The 12-time Serie A leading goalscorer and first woman to be inducted into the Italian Football Hall of Fame[7] Carolina Morace was named as the inaugural head coach. Milan's first season saw the team finish in 3rd place, missing out on qualification to the UEFA Champions League by 1 point. Valentina Giacinti won the league Golden Boot with 21 goals, while her Milan teammate Daniela Sabatino finished in 2nd with 17 goals.[8]
On 25 June 2019 Maurizio Ganz was appointed as the new first team coach, signing a 2-year contract.[9] The following two seasons, 2020–21 and 2021–22, proved very positive for the club, despite the lack of trophies, having reached the second place in the 2020–21 Serie A, and with defeats in both the 2020–21 Coppa Italia final (on penalties, against Roma) and the 2021 Italian Supercup final (against Juventus).
Player welfare
On 2 August 2024, it was announced on the club's official website that players who are pregnant in the final year of their contract will receive an automatic one-year contract extension. The club will also provide childcare assistance during sports activities and cover flights, accommodations, as well as other travel expenses for the player's child and one companion. This move by the club is one of the first such policy introduced by an elite European football club.[10]
