In a week of upheaval for the Rossoneri, Milan slumped to a 2-1 Serie A defeat to relegation-threatened Genoa.
Milan suffered a damaging defeat for coach Stefano Pioli as Genoa claimed a shock 2-1 Serie A win at an empty San Siro on Sunday.
With the Rossoneri's famous home absent of spectators following a decree that all sporting events in Italy take place behind closed doors until April 3 as the country battles the coronavirus outbreak, Milan turned in a drab performance.
At the end of a week that saw Milan sack chief football officer Zvonimir Boban but express support for Pioli, they were second best throughout against a Genoa side battling relegation.

Match Events
7' GOAL! Milan 0-1 Genoa (Pandev)
Sanabria skips into the box from the right and cuts back for Pandev, who makes no mistake from a few yards out! First blood to Genoa.
17' CLOSE! Ibrahimovic's header denied
Castillejo's corner is ineffective, but Milan get a chance shortly after! Calhanoglu curls a fantastic ball back into the area and Ibrahimovic heads straight at Perin who saves at point-blank range!
20' AGAIN! Calhanoglu's shot denied by Perin
Ibrahimovic pops a pass through for Calhanoglu who shoots first time for the bottom left corner. Perin is straight out of his goal to close Calhanoglu down and make another great save.
29' CLOSE! Theo's shot wide out
Bennacer has a shot from range that skids wide. Genoa take the goal-kick and Milan continue to huff and puff with some nice touches around Genoa's box. When the ball finally comes to Hernandez, he gets the shot all wrong as it sails over.
41' GOAL! Milan 0-2 Genoa (Cassata)
Genoa double their lead! Sarabia passes out wide to Biraschi. Biraschi whips in a low cross from the right and Schone back-heels it towards Cassata who taps it in!
52' CHANCE! Calhanoglu's shot blocked
Milan are labouring again. Ibrahimovic tries to find Hernandez with a curling ball in but is unsuccessful. Calhanoglu decides to go it alone by dribbling into the box, but his shot is nowhere near finding the target.
63' Behrami subbed off after getting injured
Genoa make an enforced change. Behrami is replaced by the 22-year-old Polish midfielder Jagiello.
67' NICE TRY! Ibrahimovic's bicycle kick wide out
Ibrahimovic goes for the spectacular. Kessie crosses in from the right and the veteran Swede attempts an acrobatic overhead kick which bounces wide of the post. It might take something like that to breach this Genoa defence.
77' GOAL! Milan 1-2 Genoa (Ibrahimovic)
Milan are back in this! Castillejo's corner lands to Bonaventura on the right of the box who shoots. Bonaventura's shot bounces up nicely for Ibrahimovic just outside the six yard box, and the Swede swivels and smashes it past Perin!
