In the second round of the Champions League, Milan only won once and drawn four times. They failed to beat Deportivo de La Coruña of Spain in the last game and Zaccheroni fired. Cesare Maldini, father of team captain Paolo, has been appointed and it soon became better. Coaching debut at Milan's Maldini officially begins with 6-0 win over AS Bari, who still has young guns, Antonio Cassano.
