Milan beats Lecce: Pulisic saves coach Conceicao from dismissal!

In a dramatic showdown in Serie A, AC Milan celebrated an exciting comeback on matchday 28, defeating US Lecce 3-2. After a slow start that resulted in two Lecce goals and a 2-0 deficit, Sergio Conceicao's team showed remarkable fighting spirit. Particularly noteworthy is the American Christian Pulisic, who not only converted a penalty (73') but also scored the decisive goal (81'), which initiated the turnaround after an own goal from Lecce player Antonio Gallo (68') brought Milan back into the game. This was a decisive victory for Milan, catapulting the club to eighth place in the table and reducing the gap to the international ranks to just three points laola1.at reported.

The victory not only boosts the team's morale, but could also secure the future of coach Sergio Conceicao, whose position was in jeopardy if they lost at the weekend. Despite the positive turnaround, uncertainty remains about its long-term future; Milan is currently working on a realignment of the club. According to cbssports.com Talks are already underway about a new sporting director who will play a central role in the club's upcoming decisions. Links to options such as Igli Tare, Fabio Paratici and Andrea Berta are becoming concrete, while former Juventus coach Massimiliano Allegri is also being traded as a possible returnee. These developments suggest that Milan need to make important decisions, both on the pitch and upstairs, to permanently address the confusion that has marked this season.
