Former Porto Boss Sergio Conceição Tipped to Take Over
AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca has confirmed his departure from the club following a 1-1 draw against Roma on Sunday. The result left Milan eighth in Serie A, intensifying pressure on the coach despite his Champions League success this season.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Fonseca initially said he had “no signal” suggesting his job was at risk. However, as he left the San Siro, he admitted to parting ways with the club. “Yes, I left Milan. That’s life, that’s how it is. I have a clear conscience; I did everything I could do,” Fonseca stated.
Mixed Results Under Fonseca
Fonseca joined Milan just six months ago and has impressed in the Champions League, where Milan currently ranks 12th out of 36 teams. However, inconsistent domestic form has left the Rossoneri trailing Serie A leaders Atalanta by 14 points.
Sergio Conceição Poised to Step In
Reports in Italy suggest that former Porto manager Sergio Conceição is lined up to replace Fonseca. Conceição, who played for Inter Milan during his career, is expected to bring a wealth of experience to the role. It remains uncertain whether he will be in charge for Milan’s Supercoppa Italiana semi-final against Juventus on January 3.
What’s Next for Milan?
The club has yet to release an official statement regarding Fonseca’s exit, but changes seem imminent. Fans and players, including Christian Pulisic, will be watching closely as Milan prepares to navigate a critical stretch of the season under potential new leadership.
