Sergio Conceiçao Expected to Leave Milan After Disappointing Results

Milan are expected to part company with Sergio Conceiçao in the summer, as the club looks to make significant changes following a season filled with disappointing results. A new sporting director will be responsible for selecting the Rossoneri’s coach for the 2025-26 season, marking a critical decision as the team strives for a return to form.

Conceiçao’s tenure has faced multiple challenges since he took over from Paulo Fonseca in December. Although he managed to secure the Supercoppa Italiana title in January, his overall performance has left much to be desired. Under his leadership, Milan has recorded only six wins in 13 Serie A matches, along with two draws, and has suffered five losses. This poor form has contributed to the team currently sitting at 9th in the Serie A table, notably four points adrift of a coveted European placement. The elimination from the Champions League playoffs by Feyenoord has further underscored the struggles Milan is facing this season.

Despite having a contract that runs until 2026, the club appears willing to terminate the agreement with Conceiçao at the end of the current campaign. Reports from Sky Sport Italia and Calciomercato.com suggest that this outcome is highly likely, prompting the Rossoneri to seek a fresh coaching direction. The appointment of a new sporting director is expected to take place soon, with Giorgio Furlani tasked with this important decision. This individual will ultimately play a pivotal role in naming the new Milan coach for the 2025-26 season, aiming to revitalize the team’s performance and aspirations.

Before any decisions are finalized, Conceiçao and Milan have one last opportunity to salvage what has been a disappointing campaign. They are set to face their city rivals, Inter, in the Coppa Italia semifinals, with the first leg scheduled for this coming Wednesday. This match could prove to be a defining moment for Conceiçao, offering him a potential lifeline if he can guide the team to victory against a fierce opponent while potentially restoring some confidence and momentum ahead of the summer transitions.
