Sergio Conceicao leaves AC Milan after just six months, Allegri tipped to return to club
AC Milan have parted ways with manager Sergio Conceicao after just six months in charge.
The Portuguese coach took over from Paulo Fonseca in December and lifted the Italian Super Cup in just his second game with the club, beating rivals Inter in Saudi Arabia.
But the chance of more silverware disappeared with defeat to Bologna in the Coppa Italia final and an eighth-place finish in Serie A left them without European football next season.
A brief statement read: 'AC Milan and Sergio Conceicao will not continue their journey together next season.
'The club would like to thank Sergio and his staff for their commitment, professionalism and dedication shown during their time leading the first team over the past few months. The AC Milan family parts with the coach who won the 50th trophy in the club's history, wishing him the best for the future.'
Reports in Italy suggest Massimiliano Allegri could be in line to return to the San Siro, having previously led the Rossoneri between 2010-2014.

EU ‘strongly regrets' Trump's steel tariff increase, threatens countermeasures
The European Union on Saturday spoke out against US President Donald Trump's latest tariff announcement regarding steel imports – and threatened a response before the summer. 'We strongly regret the announced increase of US tariffs on steel imports from 25 per cent to 50 per cent,' said a spokesman for the European Commission in Brussels, which is responsible for EU trade policy. 'This decision adds further uncertainty to the global economy and increases costs for consumers and businesses on both sides of the Atlantic.' The EU was ready to take countermeasures, the statement continued. This could also happen earlier than July 14. As things currently stand, EU counter-tariffs already planned due to Trump's initial tariff decisions would automatically come into force on this date. The bloc had wanted the measures to come into force on April 14, but held back after Trump granted many countries and the EU a 90-day pause from certain tariffs.

France slams ‘heinous acts' after Holocaust memorial, synagogues in Paris hit with paint
France's Holocaust memorial, two synagogues and a restaurant in central Paris were vandalised with green paint overnight, according to police sources on Saturday, prompting condemnation from government and city officials. 'I am deeply disgusted by these heinous acts targeting the Jewish community,' said French Interior Minister Bruno Retailleau said on X. No arrests have been made. Retailleau last week called for 'visible and dissuasive' security measures at Jewish-linked sites amid concerns over possible antisemitic acts. In a separate message, the interior minister on Friday had again ordered heightened surveillance ahead of the coming Jewish Shavuot holiday.

Ex-Man United star Nani backs Reuben Amorim to turn fallen Premier League giants around
Four-time Premier League champion Nani has backed former Portugal teammate Ruben Amorim to repeat his Sporting Lisbon exploits with Manchester United. Advertisement Were it not for the startling turnover of managers since Alex Ferguson's retirement, Amorim would already be on rocky ground after an unconvincing opening six months. In his previous job at Sporting, Amorim inherited a falling team, and a club that, according to Nani, who had not long left them for the USA, 'had big problems on the inside'. The United boss left last November after winning two titles, and setting the Lisbon club on course for another league crown. 'The first thing he did was organise the club, … he focused on providing stability around the players, and the team started winning, and kept winning until today,' Nani told the Post. Advertisement 'He is a good personality, and a strong manager, when he has to be. He likes to be very well organised, and he's determined. When he wants something, he goes for it and doesn't change. I'm positive for the future.'
