Moncada not satisfied with Milan results but backs Conceiçao
Geoffrey Moncada confirms Milan are looking for a new sporting director and insists they are happy with coach Sergio Conceiçao, although the club is not satisfied with results in Serie A. Milan visit strugglers Venezia at the Stadio Penzo in Sunday's lunchtime game in Serie A. You can follow the build-up and live commentary on the Football Italia LIVEBLOG. The Rossoneri sit ninth in the Serie A table, but have finished the season unbeaten against city rivals Inter and qualified for the Coppa Italia Final. 'We are not satisfied with the table in Serie A. We want to do more. It's important to win trophies, and it would be important to win two,' Moncada told DAZN before kick-off. 'We want to win the Coppa Italia. It's the only chance to reach Europe, but we want to do more.' Sergio Conceiçao has been under pressure since the very start of his tenure, but could he remain at the club until the end of his contract in 2026? 'We are very happy. He's worked hard in three months, bringing an important methodology to Milanello, and we work well together,' said Moncada. The Rossoneri are also looking for a new sporting director, but the latest updates from Italy suggest they won't appoint a new executive before the second half of May. 'We always talk about scoring goals, but performances are also important. We got many games wrong, and we can do more. We have a structure, we have Milan, and people work hard,' said Moncada. 'We think about hiring a sporting director to develop the club and take it to the next level, but our current structure is already important.' How about Luka Jovic? His contract expires in June, but Milan have an option to extend to 2026. 'He and the coach have worked well to reach this level. We are happy,' concluded Moncada. 'We have it all under control in terms of his contract. It's not a renewal, but it's an option, and we hope he can do well in the coming games.'

Milan identify Allegri as top coaching choice for next season
Milan have placed Massimiliano Allegri at the centre of their future project, believing that the former Juventus coach is the right profile to guide the club through a challenging period in its history. The Rossoneri once again found themselves contemplating a coaching change after Sergio Conceiçao failed to revive the team's fortunes following his appointment, which came after Paulo Fonseca's dismissal last December. With the former Porto boss extremely unlikely to remain at the helm of the team beyond the end of the season, Milan are studying their next moves, with the choice of a new manager emerging as one of their most delicate decisions. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, owner Gerry Cardinale and CEO Giorgio Furlani recently met in New York to discuss the club's future plans, agreeing that Massimiliano Allegri's return to the San Siro would serve as a guarantee to get the club back on track. The pink newspaper reported that the club is actively working to convince the Italian coach to take charge of the Rossoneri starting next summer, with his experience, flexibility, and winning pedigree considered appealing traits by a club that cannot afford to make another wrong choice. While profiles like Roberto De Zerbi and Cesc Fabregas remain viable alternatives, Milan now consider Allegri as their preferred option and will actively try to bring him back to the club. Meanwhile, Conceiçao's job is considered far from secure, as a recent report suggests the Diavolo could be ready to sack him before the end of the season if they don't win at Lecce this weekend, following three consecutive league defeats.
