After a disappointing 1-1 draw against Roma in the Italian Championship, Milan coach Paulo Fonseca is on the brink of dismissal. Italian media outlets are reporting that the coach’s departure is all but certain. This result leaves Milan further behind in the race for a top-four finish, ultimately fueling speculation about Fonseca’s future. Interestingly, reports suggest that another Portuguese coach, Sergio Conceição, is being considered as a potential replacement.
Conceição,who has been without a club sence parting ways with Porto in June after a accomplished seven-year tenure,is currently a free agent. He has been linked with several European clubs, including Wolverhampton from England, who eventually hired former Flamengo coach Vitor Pereira. In addition to Wolves, Saudi Arabian clubs were also mentioned as possible destinations for Conceição, but Milan now seems to have emerged as a strong contender.
sergio Conceição, former coach of Porto, is reportedly the frontrunner to replace Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan. According to italian newspaper Gazzetta Dello Sport, Fonseca is set to depart from the Rossoneri, prompting the club to actively pursue conceição as his successor. The report also suggests that Conceição has already reached an agreement with Milan.
In a separate development, the same report mentions Conceição’s previous departures from several Brazilian clubs, though the specific Rio-based team remains undisclosed.
Simultaneously occurring, Conceição’s potential move to milan could disappoint Botafogo fans who had hoped to see him join their team after the recent departure of Artur Jorge. Jorge’s tenure with the Rio de Janeiro club ended after a successful season marked by championship victories.
Botafogo Seeks New Coach Following Artur Jorge’s Departure
Botafogo’s search for a new head coach has begun after Artur Jorge agreed to a move to al-Rayyan in Qatar. The Brazilian Serie A and Copa libertadores club is not rushing the process but aims to build on the successful recruitment of the Portuguese coach who led them to victory in the 2023 Copa do Brasil. While there’s no immediate pressure to fill the vacant position, the club’s management is already exploring potential candidates. Curious to see who’s on the shortlist?

Alex Reed, thanks for joining us. Let’s jump right in. After a disappointing draw against Roma, the pressure is mounting on Milan coach Paulo Fonseca. How significant is this result in regards to his future at the club?
**Alex Reed:** It’s significant, there’s no doubt whatsoever.A draw against Roma isn’t necessarily disastrous, but the context surrounding Milan’s performance matters. [He/She/They] likely needs to show tangible progress and climb the table quickly to silence the growing doubts about his tactical approach and ability to motivate the squad.
