AC Milan is an Italian football club in Milan. They were started in 1899 by two Englishmen, Herbet Kilpin and Alfred Edwards after a heavy drinking session in the Fiaschetteria Toscana tavern in Milan. Herbet Kilpin became the first team coach and captain whilst Alfred Edwards became the first club president.

Their first name was Milan Cricket and Football Club. They have won the Serie A football league 19 times. They have won more trophies than any Italian club except for Juventus.

Milan play at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza, also known as San Siro.

Name

[change | change source]

The club was founded by as Milan Football and Cricket Club by an Englishman named Herbert Kilpin. Because of its English origins, in both English and Italian, the club uses the English name "Milan" instead of the Italian name Milano. A similar way of naming exists for Genoa CFC, which uses the name "Genoa" instead of Genova because of its English origins.
