Following his recent dismissal, Paulo Fonseca, the former AC Milan coach, made a final appearance at the Milanello training center to bid farewell to the team and express his gratitude to the Rossoneri faithful.

When asked to share a parting message with Milan supporters, Fonseca stated, “I extend my warmest embrace to everyone and express my heartfelt thanks for your unwavering support and respect. It was an honor to serve as Milan’s coach. Today, I said my goodbyes to the squad.”

In the wake of Fonseca’s departure, Milan has adjusted their schedule, canceling the players’ day off. The team convened at Milanello for a training session this morning and remained for lunch, anticipating the arrival of their new coach, Sergio Conceição.

Conceição, a fellow Portuguese, is set to sign a six-month contract with an option for an additional year. He is expected to arrive at Milanello in the early afternoon to meet with the squad after landing at Milan’s Linate airport.

The new coach’s debut on the Milan bench is slated for January 3rd, in a Supercoppa semifinal match against Juventus. Interestingly, this fixture will pit Conceição against his son, Francisco Conceição.

As Milan enters this new chapter, fans and pundits alike will be keen to see how Conceição’s leadership impacts the team’s performance in the coming months.
