AC Milan Sacks Coach Paulo Fonseca

AC Milan has officially sacked head coach Paulo Fonseca following a disappointing 1-1 draw against AS Roma, leaving the team in eighth place in Serie A and 12th in the Champions League standings. Fonseca's tenure was marked by inconsistency, with the team winning only one of their last four league matches and struggling to secure a Champions League spot. Sergio Conceicao, the former Porto manager, is set to take over, having reportedly agreed terms hours before Fonseca's dismissal. During his seven years at Porto, Conceicao won 11 trophies, including three league titles, and is expected to bring a stronger defensive strategy to Milan. Fonseca expressed his disappointment at the manner of his firing but maintained that he had given his all during his time with the club. Milan's next match is against Juventus on January 3, where Conceicao will make his debut.
