Summary

New club chairman Oreste Simonotti changed the club's name to Associazione Sportiva Ambrosiana and restored the previous black-and-blue jerseys. The new colors were a legacy from Unione Sportiva Milanese, before the merger. Hungarian manager Árpád Weisz returned to the bench,[1] and Oreste Simonotti arrived from Casale as new chairman due to deficit left by former chairman Ernesto Torrusio.

In a 1929–30 Serie A campaign changing competition format to a sole group, Ambrosiana debut match was a triumph against Livorno.[2] By 16 February 1930, the squad counts 23 points (with a match pending against Juventus). Played the game on 20 April, Ambrosiana took an advantage of + 4 points over Juventus and Genova. The success was determined in direct matches between teams programmed for last round on Sunday. On 8 June in Genova, Juventus is defeated 2-0 falling to − 6 points. Meanwhile, Ambrosiana draw 3–3 at home against Liguria (included a penalty missed in last minutes) standing with 4 points of advantage. The scudetto is clinched on 29, with a victory in stadio San Siro against Torino taking Ambrosiana to a 50 points and leadership. Crucial to the trophy was Giuseppe Meazza, league topscorer: 31 goals.[3]

The squad competed in 1930 Mitropa Cup defeated in semifinals by Sparta Praha.[4]
