Transfer: Fabregas lead Milan’s managerial shortlist to replace Conceiçao

AC Milan are considering Cesc Fabregas as their top candidate to replace under-fire manager Sergio Conceiçao next season.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, Conceiçao’s position is increasingly vulnerable following consecutive Serie A defeats.

Recently, they have faced defeat to Torino and Bologna, leaving Milan in eighth place and eight points off a Champions League spot—his minimum target for job security.

With his departure likely, Milan have begun evaluating potential successors.

Fabregas has emerged as the frontrunner due to his impressive managerial debut with Como.

After leading them to Serie A, the former Arsenal and Barcelona midfielder has earned praise for his tactical intelligence and a possession-based style that aligns with Milan’s vision for progressive football.

The club’s hierarchy sees Fabregas as an ideal long-term appointment, especially as he is already attracting interest from other European sides.

However, Milan are also keeping tabs on alternative candidates, including Maurizio Sarri and Roberto De Zerbi.
