After a further two and a half seasons, during which AC Milan finished second and third in Serie A, Clarence Seedorf took over the managerial hot-seat, another man who had previously shone in the Rossoneri shirt. Prior to this, he'd led the Primavera to Viareggio Cup success in February Rino Gattuso was the next man to take the reins on 27 November — already a Rossoneri icon after winning 10 trophies with AC Milan from to five in Italy and five on the international stage.
The former Rossoneri midfielder guided the club to the Coppa Italia final and also ensured qualification to the Europa League on two separate occasions. They decided upon Marco Giampaolo , who made his Rossoneri debut this summer during the International Champions Cup.
Our league campaign then got off to a slow start, and after three consecutive defeats to Inter, Torino and Fiorentina as well as a struggle to implement his new footballing philosophy, Marco Giampaolo left the Club.
Stefano Pioli took over in his stead and did an excellent job in reforging the group and giving it a clear identity. Starting in June , following the lockdown caused by the Covid pandemic, the Rossoneri put together an important winning streak and managed to beat almost every opponent. Football, like most sports, is just as much about the fans as it is the actual events on the field.
The business of the game has relied heavily on support from the terraces in the form of ticket sales and more recently in the retail market, where merchandise, such as replica shirts, is sold. Successful clubs are usually the best supported, but variables such as geography, history and cultural significance come into play, so success doesn't necessarily translate to support.
It definitely helps, though. It's nigh on impossible to get an exact figure on how many fans each club has, but looking at things such as shirt sales, stadium size and social media followers helps to create a rough picture of popularity. With that in mind, Goal takes a look at which football clubs have the most fans worldwide by taking into account a variety of factors.
Main official accounts only. Real Madrid and Barcelona are the football clubs with the most followers on social media across all the major channels, with no other team coming remotely close to the Clasico rivals.
Manchester United, a club which did not have an official Twitter account until April three years after Liverpool , are the next most popular club online, but they are well behind Real and Barca.
Juventus follow the Red Devils, no doubt buoyed by the Cristiano Ronaldo effect, with just over million followers. By choosing I Accept , you consent to our use of cookies and other tracking technologies. Reddit Pocket Flipboard Email. AC Milan. Loading comments
