AC Milan in turmoil: Paulo Fonseca dismissed, Sérgio Conceição set to take over
AC Milan remains in crisis, struggling to break free from a pattern of inconsistency. Despite an ambitious summer transfer window that brought in players like Tammy Abraham, Alvaro Morata, and Youssouf Fofana, the Rossoneri have failed to live up to expectations.
Currently sitting 8th in Serie A after 18 games, the team is also floundering in the Champions League, languishing in 12th place in the league phase.
In response to this disappointing trajectory, the club’s management has taken decisive action. Paulo Fonseca, appointed this summer to replace Stefano Pioli, has been dismissed following a string of poor results.
A draw against AS Roma, met with boos at San Siro, sealed his fate. « The club expresses its gratitude to Paulo Fonseca for his professionalism and wishes him the best in his future endeavors, » read AC Milan’s official statement.
Internal discord further compounded the team’s struggles. A notable incident involving players Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leão, who openly displayed dissatisfaction with their coach by distancing themselves during a cooling break, highlighted the fractured state of the locker room.
The Rossoneri’s management has reportedly set its sights on Sérgio Conceição, the former FC Porto coach, to steer the team back on track.
Conceição’s appointment is expected within hours, signaling a potential turning point in what has been a deeply troubled season.
