AC Milan had a second consecutive disastrous season. Fabio Capello returned as coach, following the: dismal second half of theββ1996β97 league campaign. But failedββto turn the "corner." And Milan was a shadow of the team he had left the year before. With Capello's reputation seemingly ruined, "he was sacked at the end of the season," with Milan finishing mere 10th in the league.
