Former manager Massimiliano Allegri is widely expected to take over at San Siro, having spent four years in the dugout between 2010 and 2014.

The club’s league position means they miss out on European football for next season as local rivals Internazionale prepare for the UEFA Champions League final this weekend.
Milan said in a statement on Thursday: “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 in leading the team in recent months.
“The Rossoneri family bids farewell to the coach who contributed to the conquest of the 50th trophy in Milan’s history, wishing him the best for his future.”
