AC Milan has officially terminated the contract of head coach Paulo Fonseca after a 1-1 draw against AS Roma, which left the team in eighth place in Serie A. Fonseca's tenure was marked by inconsistent results and internal conflicts with key players.

In response, the club has swiftly moved to appoint Sergio Conceicao as the new head coach. Conceicao, who has achieved significant success with FC Porto, is known for his tactical prowess and ability to motivate players. He is expected to arrive in Milan on Monday to finalize a contract running until June 2026, with the assistance of his agent, Jorge Mendes.

Conceicao's immediate challenge will be to stabilize the team's performance and secure a top-four finish to ensure Champions League qualification. His debut is anticipated in the upcoming matches, where he will aim to implement his strategic vision and revitalize the squad.

Fonseca's departure marks the end of a tumultuous period for AC Milan, characterized by unmet expectations and dressing room unrest. The club's management is hopeful that Conceicao's leadership will usher in a new era of success and stability.
