Milan have sacked head coach Sergio Conceicao, just five months after he was appointed.
The 50-year-old was appointed in December to replace Paulo Fonseca, who himself had only six months in charge of the team.
Milan lost the Coppa Italia final to Bologna earlier this month and despite winning the Supercoppa Italiana earlier in the campaign, finished a disappointing seventh-place in Serie A and missed out on European qualification for 2025-26.

Meanwhile, Milan have been linked with former striker Igli Tare as the club’s new sporting director — a role the Albanian previously held at Lazio.
Former Porto head coach Conceicao had a bright start to life in Milan, guiding his side to a 3-2 victory over rivals Inter in the Supercoppa in January however, the following month, they were eliminated from the Champions League at the play-off stage by Feyenoord.

Milan parted ways with Scudetto-winning head coach Stefano Piolo in the summer of 2024 and then sacked Fonseca in December of that year.
Milan last won the Serie A title in 2021-22, their first Scudetto in 11 seasons, prior to RedBird’s takeover later in 2022 with this year’s Supercoppa their only trophy in three seasons.
Milan ultras staged a remarkable protest against the club’s ownership ahead of their final Serie A match of the season against Monza.
Protests were held ahead of the game outside the club’s Casa Milan headquarters, where around 5,000 ultras gathered before marching to the club’s San Siro stadium.
There were nostalgic chants for the club’s iconic former captain Paolo Maldini, who made a record 902 appearances for Milan and who was sacked from his directorial role by the current ownership, and for the late Italian prime minister and media tycoon Silvio Berlusconi, the club’s most successful owner.
Milan ultras lined-up ahead of Saturday’s match to spell out the message ‘Go Home’ in the Curva Sud, with chants demanding RedBird Capital’s Gerry Cardinale sell his stake in the club and leave.
