AC Milan Sack Coach Conceicao After Disappointing Serie A Finish

AC Milan has parted ways with Portuguese coach Sergio Conceicao following a disappointing season where the team finished eighth in Serie A and missed European competition. Conceicao, appointed in December to replace Paulo Fonseca, led Milan to victory in the Italian Super Cup but could not improve league results and lost the Coppa Italia final to Bologna. Despite winning 16 of 31 games in charge, the club expressed gratitude for his professionalism while deciding not to continue their collaboration. Massimiliano Allegri is expected to return as head coach, having previously led Milan to a Serie A title in 2011 and winning multiple league titles with Juventus. Allegri's appointment follows Antonio Conte's decision to remain with Napoli, which indirectly influenced Allegri's move to Milan. Milan's defender Matteo Gabbia described the season as "bad," highlighting the team's inability to perform to its talent level.
