Sergio Conceicao Takes Helm at AC Milan Amid High Expectations

AC Milan appoints Sergio Conceicao as new manager following the dismissal of Paulo Fonseca. Conceicao, a decorated Portuguese coach, assumes the role until 2026. Milan's recent performance struggles led to the change as they aim to recover their top-flight status. Conceicao previously thrived at Porto with multiple titles.

AC Milan has announced Sergio Conceicao as their new manager, replacing Paulo Fonseca. Conceicao, a Portuguese coach, signed a contract valid until June 2026, as the club aims to climb back into contention after a troubling run left them in eighth position.

The Italian giants relieved Fonseca of his duties following a string of poor results, including a 1-1 draw against AS Roma that left them eight points shy of a Champions League spot. Milan is optimistic that Conceicao's proven track record at FC Porto will guide them back to success.

Conceicao, known for leading Porto to numerous domestic trophies and his extensive managerial experience, faces a challenge in restoring Milan's dominance in the Serie A. Milan's performance dipped under Fonseca, and the incoming manager will look to reinvigorate the squad's performance.
