Reports Milan will sack Fonseca for Conceicao tonight | OneFootball

Milan are ready to fire coach Paulo Fonseca following the 1-1 draw with Roma, although there were already reports the situation was beyond salvation before that, with Sergio Conceicao lined up.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the contract for Sergio Conceicao will only be until the end of the season.

There is also an option for Milan to extend, which leaves the door open for them to find a more long-term alternative.

Fonseca was sent off for dissent during the first half of the Roma game and Sky Sport Italia claim Zlatan Ibrahimovic and other directors went to the locker room after the match.

Ismael Bennacer told DAZN he did not speak to Fonseca after the game.

Multiple reports around the Italian media were swirling this evening that Fonseca would be sacked due to an increasingly tense rapport with club owners RedBird and special advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
