Official: Paulo Fonseca sacked by AC Milan after less than six months | OneFootball

AC Milan have now officially announced that they have sacked Paulo Fonseca as the head coach following the 1-1 draw with Roma.

Last night saw Milan end the 2024 calendar year by sharing the spoils in what was an entertaining game against the team from the capital, but the build-up immediately before the game was dominated by the news of Fonseca’s potential departure.

Reports emerged stating that the Portuguese might be taking charge of his last Milan match. These rumours then continued afterwards too, and it was stated by numerous sources that Sergio Conceicao would soon replace him.

When he was leaving San Siro, some reporters managed to speak to Fonseca and he admitted that his time at the club was over after less than six months in charge, though no confirmation from the club came.

On the official website, Milan have now confirmed that Fonseca has been relieved from his duties as the first team head coach, in a statement that is just two lines long.

“The Club extends its gratitude to Paulo for his great professionalism and wishes him the very best in his future endeavours,” they add.

Fonseca leaves Milan after just 24 games in charge, with 12 being wins plus six draws and six defeats.
