AC Milan have sacked head coach Paulo Fonseca just six months after his arrival at the club.
Fonseca has overseen a disappointing start to the season which sees Milan sit eighth in Serie A – 14 points adrift of leaders Atalanta.

The last straw came in Sunday night’s 1-1 draw at home to Roma.
Milan announced Fonseca’s departure on Monday morning with a 41-word statement on the club’s social media channels.
It read: “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.”
Ex-Porto manager Sergio Conceicao is widely expected to replace Fonseca at the San Siro.
If Conceicao is in position by January 3, his first match in charge would see him come up against his own son.
Winger Francisco Conceicao is currently on loan at Juventus from Porto - and the Old Lady face AC Milan in a Supercoppa Italiana semi-final on Friday.
