AC Milan Sack Manager Sergio Conceicao After Six Months

AC Milan has dismissed head coach Sergio Conceicao after just six months in charge, following a disappointing eighth-place finish in Serie A and a loss in the Coppa Italia final to Bologna. Conceicao, who replaced Paulo Fonseca in December and won the Italian Super Cup shortly after his appointment, was unable to improve the club's league performance, resulting in no European competition for the next season. The club expressed gratitude for Conceicao's commitment and professionalism, acknowledging his contribution to Milan's 50th trophy with the Supercoppa Italiana win. Italian media and reports link Massimiliano Allegri, who previously led Milan to the Serie A title in 2011 and enjoyed success with Juventus, as the likely successor. The coaching changes are part of a turbulent period for Milan, marked by three head coach changes within a year and fan protests against the current ownership. Milan ultras have vocally opposed the ownership of RedBird Capital, calling for a change as the club seeks stability and a return to former glory.
