AC Milan has terminated the contract of coach Sérgio Conceição following a disappointing season that saw the team finish eighth in Serie A, notably missing European competition qualification. The club has reportedly reached an agreement with Massimiliano Allegri to return as head coach. Although Conceição led the team to a Super Cup victory shortly after his appointment, Milan struggled overall, being eliminated from the Champions League playoffs and losing the Italian Cup final. The change comes as nearby rivals Inter Milan prepare for the Champions League final, emphasizing Milan's current struggles in comparison.
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.
Conceicao replaced the fired Paulo Fonseca in December with an 18-month contract and promptly guided Milan to the Italian Super Cup title in Saudi Arabia during his first matches in charge.
Milan finished eighth in Serie A, 19 points behind Italian champions Napoli, highlighting the team’s struggles in the league this season.
Meanwhile, city rivals Inter Milan will play Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League final Saturday, underlining the gap between Milan and top-tier success.
