Former Porto manager Sergio Conceicao has been appointed AC Milan head coach following the sacking of Paulo Fonseca.<\/b><\/p>\n

The former Lazio, Inter Milan and Parma midfielder has signed an 18-month deal at San Siro.<\/p>\n

Conceicao, 50, won 11 trophies in six years at Porto before stepping down at the end of last season.<\/p>\n

The Portuguese coach’s first game in charge will be on 3 January, when Milan take on Juventus in the first leg of the semi-finals of the Italian Super Cup.<\/p>\n

The match will see Conceicao manage against his son Francisco, who plays for Juventus. <\/p>\n

“I’m proud to take on this adventure. The emotions are temporary because we need to work,” said Conceicao.<\/p>\n

Milan dismissed Fonseca on Monday morning, just hours after a 1-1 draw at home against Roma.<\/p>\n

The result left the seven-time European champions in eighth place in the Serie A table, 14 points adrift of joint-leaders Atalanta and Napoli.<\/p>\n

Fonseca was appointed in June<\/a> to replace Stefano Pioli, who guided Milan to a second-place finished in the league last season and their first league title in 11 years in 2022. <\/p>\n

Milan sit 12th in the 36-team Champions League table having lost two and won four of their six matches. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n
