Milan Futuro (), occasionally referred to as Milan U23, is a professional football club based in Milan, Lombardy, Italy, which acts as the reserve team of club AC Milan. Founded on 27 June 2024, the club started in Serie C. Following relegation, they compete in Serie D.
History AC Milan's reserve team was admitted to Serie C on 27 June 2024 to fill a vacancy created by Ancona's exclusion. After five years as an assistant coach for the main senior squad, on 27 June 2024, Daniele Bonera was unveiled as their inaugural head coach, the team was registered under the denomination of Milan Futuro (Future Milan). For their first season, the team was put into Girone B of Serie C, usually intended for teams from Central Italy, due to the presence of other reserves team from Northern Italy in their respective group (Girone A). This was due to not saturating a single group with too many professional reserve teams.
Bonera was dismissed from his role on 24 February 2025, leaving the team deep in the relegation zone. A day later, on 25 February 2025, Massimo Oddo was appointed as head coach.
In their debut season, Milan Futuro were immediately relegated to the Serie D. They placed 18th in the regular season, and they lost to SPAL (2–1 on aggregate) in the relegation play–offs.
On 30 June 2026, the club announced the departure of head coach Massimo Oddo ahead of the 2026–27 season. He was replaced by Sergio Navarro Barquero, who was appointed as the head coach on 4 July 2026.
On 12 August 2026, the club's participation in the Premier League International Cup for the English competition's 13th edition was announced.
