AC Milan fire Fonseca; Conceicao lined up

AC Milan confirmed the the firing of Paulo Fonseca on Monday, following the club's 1-1 draw against Roma that left them in eight place in the Serie A.

The 52-year-old had announced his departure before the club did in the early hours of Monday morning as he left the San Siro stadium.

"Yes, it's true. I'm out," Fonseca told reporters when he lowered his car window. "That's life ... I did everything I could."

"AC Milan announces that Paulo Fonseca has been relieved from his duties as Head Coach of the Men's First Team. The club extends its gratitude to Paulo for his great professionalism and wishes him the very best in his future endeavours," Milan said in a statement.

Milan next play against Juventus in the Italian Super Cup semifinals in Saudi Arabia on Friday.

Fonseca was hired in June and oversaw only 12 wins in 24 matches across all competitions.

Milan are eighth in Serie A, trailing leaders Atalanta and Napoli by 14 points -- far worse than the second place finish earned under Stefano Pioli last season.

They have fared better in the Champions League lately following four straight wins, including a 3-1 win at Real Madrid. They are in 12th place and on course to qualify for the knockout playoff round.

Conceicao, who played in Serie A with Lazio, Parma and Inter Milan, coached Porto for six seasons before stepping down in June.
