Football Manager 2017: 15 Essential Challenges You Need To Tackle

The Challenge: Get AC Milan back to winning Serie A trophies.

6th place finishes for AC Milan are not good enough. Regardless of the improvement on the 10th and 8th place finishes that came before it, last year's Serie A final league table should not have made happy reading for Milan fans.

Your challenge is to close the incredible 34 point gap between the Milanese legends and Champions Juventus, clawing back some respect for the fallen giants and restoring them to European competition. In the first year you should benefit from not having such big distractions, but there are problems in that squad that will need addressing - not least in defence.

You've got the luxury of an excellent goalkeeper (he's a wonderkid to say the least), but aside from Alessio Romagnoli almost everyone could do with improving on in defence. And the midfield needs work too, and it's no longer a matter of just throwing money at the problem. But the rewards will be huge.
