Last summer, Fonseca signed a two-year contract with an option until 2027. However, as reported by Sky Sport, the agreement included a clause allowing the club to pay the coach only until the end of the current campaign if he was sacked within the first six months of his tenure.

Fonseca confirmed Milan had sacked him last night after a 1-1 draw against Roma.

Club directors informed the coach about their decision after his round of post-match interviews and a post-match press conference attended by Football Italia.

Milan are set to appoint Segio Conceiçao as their new coach. Fonseca’s compatriot is expected in Milan today.
