AC Milan have sacked coach Sergio Conceicao after just six months in charge of the Serie A club.
Conceicao, 50, was handed the job last December after the sacking of Paulo Fonseca and signed an 18-month deal.
He won the Italian Super Cup with Milan just a week after taking the job.But they lost the Coppa Italia final to Bologna and their league form never really picked up.
Under Conceicao, they finished in eighth place – meaning no European football next season – while rivals Inter play Paris St-Germain in this weekend’s Champions League final.
In a brief statement, the Serie A giants confirmed: “AC Milan and Sergio Conceiçao will not continue their journey together next season.
“The Club would like to thank Sergio and his staff for their commitment, professionalism and dedication shown during their time leading the First Team over the past few months.
“The AC Milan family parts with the coach who won the 50th trophy in the Club’s history, wishing him the best for the future.”
Reports in Italy claim that Massimiliano Allegri will return to San Siro as Conceicao’s replacement.
Allegri, 57, was in charge of AC Milan between 2010 and 2014.
Earlier today, transfer expert Fabrizio Romano reported that the Italian had agreed to rejoin his former club.
Allegri won the Serie A title with Milan in the 2010-11 season.
The experienced boss added a further five successes as Juventus boss.
He has been out of work since leaving Juve at the end of the 2023-24 season.
