Associazione Calcio Milan had a season to forget in 2001–02, when the squad continued to fall short compared to the very best Italian clubs. It finished fourth in the league, which qualified it for the UEFA Champions League, thanks to a strong conclusion to the season, holding off Chievo, Lazio and Bologna. The poor start to the season had led to the early dismissal of newly appointed manager Fatih Terim, who was replaced by Carlo Ancelotti on 5 November 2001.
