Summary The only time that Milan won the league title so early was back on 31 March 1968. After four titles during the 1950s, the Rossoneri's pace had actually slowed during the following decade as they won just two league titles. However, their second was that of 1968 – a year before their famous European Cup victory. Incidentally, 12 months prior to Milan's Scudetto celebrations in 1968, the prospect of winning the league was unthinkable. Arturo Silvestri's Rossoneri had finished eighth in the league standings, with the only positive being that of our Coppa Italia victory in Rome against Padova on 14 June 1967.http://www.acmilan.com/en/news/tbt/2019-03-28/tbt-1968-the-scudetto-success-in-march Scudetto 67/68 acmilan.com Nereo Rocco returned as manager at the start of the 1967–68https://www.rsssf.org/tablesi/ital68.html RSSSF Season Milan 1968 season.
