Summary The 1961–62 season gave way to Nereo Rocco as newly appointed manager http://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/gianni_rivera_golden_boy_1.html/2 RIVERA Gianni: Golden Boy per sempre - 2 Storie di Calcio Italian 8 December 2016 20 December 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161220182150/http://storiedicalcio.altervista.org/blog/gianni_rivera_golden_boy_1.html/2 dead and Dino Sani's arrivalqui, 04/02/10 http://colunas.globoesporte.com/memoriaec/2010/02/04/boca-juniors-uma-relacao-antiga-com-jogadores-brasileiros/ Memória E.

Young star Gianni Rivera initially struggled to gain playing time under new manager Nereo Rocco during the 1961–62 season, his second at the club, also being linked with loans to Vicenza and Juventus, but won his way back into the starting line-up and played a decisive role, scoring 10 goals in the league. Throughout the season, Rivera formed an important relationship with the legendary manager and catenaccio mastermind; he played a key role in the club's successes under Rocco, who subsequently built a hard-working, winning team around Rivera that complemented the midfielder's creative playing style.http://www.acmilan.com/it/archive/show_player/Gianni-Rivera AC Milan Hall of Fame: Gianni Rivera A.C.Milan.com 9 December 2014 The season started with success at home against Juventus (5-1), and then created an unstoppable winning streak for Milan, that would see them only lose once in twenty-one matches. It would also be a defeat for Juventus back in their own home town that year, as Milan delivered a 4–2 win. It would seem Rocco's only regret of the 1961–62 season would be in the Milano Derby as Inter won with the result 2–0. In spite of those who accused the father and pioneer of the real catenaccio, Milan gave way to dominate the field with eighty-three goals scored in thirty-four games (an average of 2.4 goals per match) and with thirty-four goals conceded. While Juventus was nowhere near the top contention that year, Inter, Fiorentina, and Bologna were the only true runner-ups for the scudetto race. That same year, Milan played in the Fourth Inter-Cities Fairs Cup (this was the predecessor of the UEFA Europa League Cup), however, Milan did not go far and lost in the first round against the Yugoslavian team Novi Sad.
