Milan Futuro made a winning start to their Serie D campaign, defeating Caldiero Terme 4-3 in an entertaining clash at the Felice Chinetti stadium. The result came just days after the Rossoneri's Under-23 side impressed in the Premier League International Cup, securing a victory at Goodison Park against Everton. Manager Navarro's squad showed resilience, overturning a half-time deficit to claim three crucial points in their second-team debut at this level.
The standout performers were academy graduates who had attracted Serie B interest during the summer transfer window. Silvano Vos, the Dutch midfielder acquired from Ajax for €5 million (€2.5 million fixed plus €2.5 million in performance bonuses), netted during the win. Alongside Vos, defenders Ossola and Plazzotta both scored on their debuts, with forward Borsani also finding the back of the net. All four goalscorers had been pursued by higher-level clubs but opted to remain with Milan to develop within the Rossoneri's youth structure.
Vos Begins Milan Chapter After Difficult Period
The 2005-born midfielder's journey to this moment has been unconventional. After spending seven months recovering in Amsterdam from injuries and personal issues that sidelined him for two seasons, Vos returned to Milan's Primavera squad last spring. His performances there warranted consideration for senior football, and Saturday's goal signals fresh momentum. At 19, Vos is demonstrably overqualified for Serie D—a third-tier league—making this strike a potential turning point after an extended period away from competitive action.
Goalkeeper Pittarella also deserves credit for his commanding display, including a penalty save that proved crucial as Caldiero pressed for an equalizer. The attacking thrust provided ammunition for Navarro's side to control proceedings despite the entertaining nature of the match. With confidence high and momentum building from early-season results across multiple competitions, Milan Futuro's push toward promotion gains credibility with each passing week.
