AC Milan : League Title 1956 - 1957



Full squad
Osvaldo Bagnoli, Gastone Bean, Eros Beraldo, Mario Bergamaschi, Per Bredesen, Lorenzo Buffon, Ernesto Cucchiaroni, Emiliano Farina, Alfio Fontana, Carlo Galli, Nils Liedholm, Cesare Maldini, Amos Mariani, Gianni Meanti, Luigi Radice, Cesare Reina, Eduardo Ricagni, Juan Alberto Schiaffino, Narciso Soldan, Francesco Zagatti, Luigi Zannier. Coach: Giuseppe Viani.


It is Gipo Viani's first season as coach and he would go on to manage the team for nine consecutive years. Milan make a good start, recording three wins in a row but then fell away somewhat at the top of the table. However, a derby win galvanises the side once again and it is not long before they are dominating the competition once again. The revelation of the year is Gastone Bean whose 17 goals make him Milan's top scorer for the season.
