Sergio Conceição’s tenure at AC Milan is on shaky ground, with his future hinging on securing a top-four finish in Serie A. Failure to qualify for the Champions League could see him replaced, with Antonio Conte emerging as a potential successor.
Reports from Calciomercato suggest that Conceição’s position is under intense scrutiny. The Portuguese manager could be dismissed at the end of the season if Milan fails to secure a Champions League spot for the next campaign.
Despite a challenging start under former coach Paulo Fonseca, Conceição took charge with determination, guiding Milan to an unexpected Supercoppa Italiana victory over arch-rivals Inter. However, disappointment followed as the Rossoneri suffered an early Champions League exit at the hands of Feyenoord.
With the club’s leadership setting clear expectations, anything short of a top-four finish could lead to a managerial shake-up. Adding to the uncertainty, Milan is also set to announce a new sporting director by April, a decision that could further influence the club’s direction.
If Conceição departs, Antonio Conte has been strongly linked to the San Siro job. The former Inter and Juventus boss is currently under contract with Napoli until 2027, making a potential switch complicated. However, his recent comments have fueled speculation about an exit, raising the possibility of a return to Milanese football.
As the season unfolds, the pressure is on Conceição to deliver results and keep Milan in Europe’s elite competition—otherwise, a major managerial shake-up could be on the horizon.
