# 1908–09 Milan FBCC season

During the 1908–09 season Milan Foot-Ball and Cricket Club competed in the Italian Football Championship and the Palla Dapples.

## Summary

In the 1908–09 season, Milan returned to participate in the championship after forfeiting the previous year. The Italian Football Federation was in fact backtracking from its decision, allowing again football clubs to register foreign players.
Milan did not make it through the Lombard qualifying round and were eliminated by US Milanese thanks to a 3–1 defeat. On 10 January 1909, on the previous game of such qualifying round, the first official derby between Milan and Inter was played, at Campo Milan in Porta Monforte, which saw the Rossoneri win 3-2 thanks to the goals scored by Attilio Trerè, Pietro Lana and Max Laich. Two months earlier, on 18 October 1908, the first ever match between Milan and Inter had been played, valid for winning the Coppa Chiasso. The match, played in two halves of 25 minutes each, was won by Milan 2-1 with goals from Lana and Luigi Forlano, and allowed Milan to definitively conquer the trophy, having won it for the third consecutive edition after the successes of 1906 and 1907. this season registered also Milan's last two victories in the Palla Dapples.
Milan overcame their second corporate crisis with the election of a new president: Alfred Edwards, head of the club since its foundation, was replaced by Piero Pirelli.
