​Rossoneri are enduring yet another miserable season, their second in a row. Although many think the lack of investment has brought their team in this uncomfortable situation, that is not the only reason.

Milan have made many mistakes in a past few years which led them to this downfall.

Here is a look at the 9 of them.

9. Awful Signings

Many Rossoneri fans would rather see, for example, youngster Bryan Cristante struggling on the pitch, than torture themselves by watching Essien and Muntari's displays.

Instead Milan sold a promising youngster to Benfica, but kept Muntari​ and Essien. But the truth is they never should have brought them in the first place.

They also brought Montolivo and Poli in attempt to replace Pirlo.... uhm, ok. And wasted their money on Pazzini and Matri. The list goes on...

8. Selling Thiago Silva

​In the summer of 2012, Milan could not resist an €42m offer from PSG for Thiago Silva, with an excuse that sale needed to happen in order to balance the books.

The defender was the first foreign captain Milan had in last 50 years, and was regarded and still is as the best defender in world.

With that in mind Milan should have thought twice before they sold him, as the club is failing to find a player who could step in his shoes since then.

7. Appointing and Sacking Seedorf

​Milan started their 2013-2014 season, without big reinforcements made during the summer, despite the club finished barely on 3rd position in previous season. By the end of December, the club found itself in mid-table position, and as a result, Massimiliano Allegri was sacked.

In his place, Milan appointed their former player Clarence Seedorf. It was Seedorf's first job as a head coach and although Milan were trumped by Atletico Madrid in Champions League first knockout round, and the club finished the season in 8th position in Serie A, the opinion of majority was that Seedorf was pulling out the maximum of less than impressive players in Milan's team.

Many shared the opinion that Seedorf, given the time and proper investments, could prove to be the right choice as head coach. Instead, Milan hierarchy ended his contract at the end of the season.

6. Inability to Find a Suitable Striker

​Since Ibrahimovic left for PSG, Milan were unable to find the suitable striker they needed.

Eventually they put their prayers in Mario Balotelli. And although Mario's goal scoring record is solid (30 goals in 54 apps), most of his goals came from dead ball situations, and 12 goals came in his first 13 appearances. The striker was unable to improve Milan's play in general and had a significant drop in form, before being offloaded to Liverpool.

Balotelli aside, Milan signed the likes of Pazzini, Maxi Lopez, Torres and now Destro over the years. But one name which is stinging the eye is Alessandro Matri. Milan made a panic buy and brought Allegri's favourite for €12m in time in which Milan needed to spend their money more wisely.

5. Appointing Inzaghi

​You would have thought that some people should learn from their mistakes, but not in Milan.

After sacking Seedorf, Milan decided to waste another of their playing legends by appointing Inzaghi. The result was nothing better, if not even worse, as Pippo could not produce a miracle with weak squad which Rossoneri had, and his passion for football didn't reflect on players and their displays on the pitch.

4. Sacking Braida and Leonardo

​Ariedo Braida (now working in Barcelona) was Milan's sporting director since 1986. He is considered to be a person most responsible for bringing all those great players since Berlusconi took over Milan (alongside Galliani). He had contacts all over the world and was known for his ability to recognize player's talent and make a timely buy. He was sacked in 2013 admist between Galliani and Barbara Berlusconi.

Leonardo on the other hand, was a combination of scout and agent for the club in a period between 2003 - 2009, mainly based in Brazil and credit goes to him for helping the team in bringing the likes of Kaka, Pato and Thiago Silva. Milan later wasted him by appointing him as a head coach, as a replacement for Ancelotti, only to sack him after one season.

If these two people have continued to work, we might have seen some Brazilians starring in AC Milan's squad such as Lucas Moura, Oscar, Felipe Anderson or even Neymar, in time the whole world wasn't crazy about them yet.

3. Not Cashing-In on Pato

​Mixing emotions with business never works out well, and such was the case with Milan's Pato. Once the best youngster in the world, the Brazilian has faced a series of injuries that led his career go downwards.

In 2012, in a season which Pato showed his injury proneness, PSG made an offer of €45m and Milan rejected the offer, a move that would have given Milan the opportunity to make a bid for Man City's Carlos Tevez.

It is believed that a romantic relationship between Pato and Barbara Berlusconi canceled the transfer. It hasn't passed a year since then, and Pato was sold to Corinthians for €15m.

2. Releasing Pirlo

​"When Andrea told me that he was joining us, the first thing I thought was: "God exists". A player of his level and ability, not to mention that he was free, I think it was the signing of the century!" - said Buffon when Juventus signed Andrea Pirlo on a free transfer in 2011.

Since then Pirlo is winning Serie A titles with Old Lady, season by season, and is arguably their most important player till this day.

Milan released him with an excuse, they could not pay his wages anymore. Clearly that didn't stop them to pay the likes of Montolivo, Essien and Muntari later.

1. No Role for Maldini

​This is beyond any comment! Except DISGRACE!

For Milan not to offer their biggest legend a role within the club, after he hanged up his boots, along with the fact the player expressed the same desire to continue to work for the club is absolutely shameful.
