Why Milan sacked Fonseca and one unanswered question

AC Milan dismissed coach Paulo Fonseca after a series of disappointing results in Serie A, leaving the team in 8th place, eight points off a Champions League spot.

Despite the team’s position, Fonseca’s sacking was influenced by his group management, with concerns raised by directors and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.

Fonseca had benched key players like Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez, sparking tensions. A clause in his contract allowed Milan to terminate it early, which led to his removal.

The club had already agreed with Sergio Conceição as his replacement but delayed the decision, leaving Fonseca in charge until after a match against Roma.

This delay raised questions, as Conceição could have had more time to prepare with the team.
