In the 2013–14 season, Associazione Calcio Milan competed in Serie A for the 80th time, as well as the Coppa Italia and the UEFA Champions League. It was the club's 31st consecutive season in the top flight of Italian football.

By early 2014, it was clear that this was an exceptionally bad season for Milan, prompting Milan to change its manager in mid-January.

In January, Milan was eliminated from the Coppa Italia in the quarter-finals (Milan's second match of the Coppa) by Udinese.

On 9 February 2014, Milan were in 11th place in the Serie A, just about in the bottom half of the table of 20 teams.

In the Champions League, Milan secured a place in Group Stage of after beating PSV in the play-off round 4–1 on aggregate. On 11 December 2013, Milan qualified for the next stage in the competition after playing to a 0–0 draw against Ajax, securing second place in group behind group leaders Barcelona. The Rossoneri were then matched against Atlético Madrid, who defeated Milan 0–1 at San Siro and 4–1 in Madrid. After the defeat, Milan continued their run of failing to eliminate a Spanish club in the knockout phase since the competition's refurbishment in 1992.
