Why is Milan called (in other languages besides italian/english) "AC (Milano*)"
*Name of the city - Milano - but in the language we're talking. For example, in Portugal I would say 75% of the newspapers call AC Milan, but the others call "AC Milão" (Milão = Milano in portuguese). In German, once I saw in DSF, AC Mailand or something like this... I must say I hate this. It's MILAN! If it wasn't the club should be called AC Milano by the italians... In bwin.com , our sponsor... on the portuguese version there's always "AC Milão" ... I've sent an email, but I think nothing will change... what a stupidity.

Yes I knew about the English founder and everything, and it was once Mussolini came to power that it became AC Milano. However, after the fall of his fachist regime, the Milano was returned to Milan in honour of the English founder, but the AC remained, and they refrained from restoring the FC.
Barca was also founded by an Englishman too as someone mentioned. |
