AC Milan Appoints Sergio Conceição as New Head Coach After Sacking Paulo Fonseca

Fonseca was dismissed following a disappointing start to the season, with Conceição tasked to revive the team's Serie A and European campaigns.

Paulo Fonseca was fired as AC Milan head coach after just six months, with the team sitting in 8th place in Serie A and struggling to secure consistent results.
The Portuguese coach reportedly learned of his dismissal via a text message from the club's ownership, sparking criticism from fans and ultras over the handling of his exit.
Sergio Conceição, also Portuguese, has been appointed on a contract running until June 2026; he previously led Porto to multiple domestic titles during his seven-year tenure.
Conceição's first match in charge will be against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup semi-final in Riyadh, with his son Francisco playing for the opposition team.
AC Milan faces significant challenges in Serie A, trailing 14 points behind league leaders Atalanta, but has shown promise in the Champions League with four consecutive wins.
