AC Milan have been “excluded” from the 2019\/20 Europa League after breaching Financial Fair Play rules, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has confirmed. <\/strong><\/p>\n

The Rossoneri finished fifth in Serie A last season, one point behind city rivals Inter who occupied the final Champions League spot, and would have been one of the pre-tournament favourites to lift Europe’s second-tier competition.<\/p>\n

    However, after failing to adhere to financial rules over a three-year period, the Italian giants will no longer take part in the Europa League during the forthcoming season after reaching an agreement with Uefa that sees them officially withdrawn from the competition.<\/p>\n

    A statement from CAS<\/a> read: “AC Milan is excluded from participating in the UEFA Club Competitions of the sporting season 2019\/2020 as a consequence of the breach of its FFP break-even obligations during the 2015\/2016\/2017 and the 2016\/2017\/2018 monitoring periods.<\/p>\n

    “The Adjudicatory Chamber of the UEFA Club Financial Control Body is invited to issue a Procedural Order, acknowledging the outcome of the present arbitration(s) and terminating the AC-01\/2019 proceedings relating to the 2016\/2017\/2018 monitoring period, which have become moot.\u201d<\/p>\n
