During the 1959–60 season Associazione Calcio Milan competed in Serie A, Coppa Italia and European Cup.
Summary
In the 1959-1960 season the Rossoneri, still led by Luigi Bonizzoni as coach, exchanged goalkeepers with Genoa: Lorenzo Buffon was in fact sold to the Ligurian club in exchange for Giorgio Ghezzi. Milan ended the championship in third place, with 44 points, nine behind Serie A champions Juventus and ahead of second-placed Fiorentina. Among the positive results of the season was the 5-3 win against Inter, where José Altafini became the first and only player to have scored four goals in a Milan derby.
In the Coppa Italia, the Milan were eliminated in the second round by Como thanks to a 0-1 defeat at home.
The campaign in the European Cup was also short: following the victory in the first round against Olympiakos (2-2 in Greece and 3-1 at San Siro), Milan were beaten 7-1 on aggregate by Barcelona in the round of 16.
At the end of the season, Juan Alberto Schiaffino left the club after six years with the Rossoneri.
