During the1982–83 season Milan Associazione Calcio competed inSerie B andCoppa Italia.
In 1982–83, Milan faced their second season in Serie B. The new coach wasIlario Castagner. The squad was revolutionized: five pillars of theStella title left:Walter Novellino (moving toAscoli),Aldo Maldera (toRoma),Roberto Antonelli (Genoa),Ruben Buriani (Cesena), as well asFulvio Collovati, sold by his will toInter, obtaining in exchange the loans ofGiancarlo Pasinato,Nazzareno Canuti andAldo Serena. Other signings wereVinicio Verza (from Cesena),Oscar Damiani (fromNapoli) and Tiziano Manfrin (from Genoa), as well as goalkeeperGiulio Nuciari and Maurizio D'Este. Milan path to the promotion was relatively comfortable, losing only three matches and spending the entire season in the top two spots of the table, in an interesting duel againstLazio, which in the end was left eight points behind.
Milan game proved decidedly more pleasant than in the previous two seasons. Coach Castagner played an attacking football, remarked by the thirteen different players who scored at least one goal.Franco Baresi, only 22 years old, obtained the captaincy of the club, which he will retain until his retirement 15 years later. Also in the Coppa Italia Milan gave good impressions, reaching the quarter-finals where they were eliminated on away goals by Verona.
