question: In the 1996–97 A.C. Milan failed to succesfully contract which person born on 3 May 1973?
answer: Michael Reiziger
context: Title: 1995 UEFA Champions League Final
  Passage: The 1995 UEFA Champions League Final was the 40th edition and took place in Vienna between AFC Ajax and A.C. Milan.  It was Milan's third consecutive European Cup final, a feat which has only been matched in the Champions League era by Juventus between 1996 and 1998, and they were aiming to tie Real Madrid's record of having won the European Cup six times.  After 85 minutes the deadlock was broken when Frank Rijkaard, a former Milan player found Patrick Kluivert with just enough space in the penalty area to lose his two markers and slot the ball past Milan keeper Sebastiano Rossi.
  Title: 1987–88 S.S.C. Napoli season
  Passage: S.S.C. Napoli only just failed to defend its inaugural Serie A title, finishing two points behind A.C. Milan.  Napoli proved to be the most offensive team in the entire league, with Careca and Diego Maradona dominating the scoring charts.  Due to Milan's strong defence that was not enough for the title, and due to a 3-2 defeat at home to the eventual champions, the title defence got out of reach.
  Title: 1997–98 A.C. Milan season
  Passage: A.C. Milan had a second consecutive disastrous season.  Fabio Capello returned as coach, following the dismal second half of the 1996–97 league campaign, but failed to turn the corner, and Milan was a shadow of the team he had left the year before.  With Capello's reputation seemingly ruined, he was sacked at the end of the season, with Milan finishing a mere 10th in the league.
  Title: Giorgio Morini

  Title: 1996–97 A.C. Milan season
  Passage: A.C. Milan fell into pieces once Fabio Capello left his job to join Real Madrid.  The new organisation with Giorgio Morini as manager and Óscar Tabárez as technical director completely miscued its signings, with neither Jesper Blomqvist, Edgar Davids, Christophe Dugarry or Michael Reiziger being successful.  Due to a 2-1 defeat to Rosenborg at home in the Champions League, the duo was fired, and former championship winning coach Arrigo Sacchi managed to save the reigning champions' contract in Serie A by just six points.  The miserable season also prompted captain Franco Baresi to end his active career, with Milan retiring the #6 shirt in his honour.
