Sun Mar 02 19:00:00 UTC 2025: ## Milan Faces Lazio Amidst Fan Protests and Managerial Uncertainty

**Milan, Italy** – AC Milan prepares to face Lazio tonight at San Siro amidst a backdrop of fan unrest and uncertainty surrounding the club’s future. Recent back-to-back away defeats have left supporters frustrated, with the Curva announcing plans to delay taking their seats until the 15th minute as a sign of protest.

The team, under manager Sérgio Conceição, is working to regain its form. While Conceição downplayed recent tensions, the atmosphere remains charged. The team is expected to field a starting XI featuring Gimenez, who has a strong record against Lazio (5 goals in 4 previous encounters), alongside Leão and Pulisic, with João Félix potentially starting on the bench. Defensive choices remain uncertain, with Jiménez, Tomori, and Thiaw competing for spots.

Meanwhile, off-field issues are brewing. The search for a new sporting director is underway, with Igli Tare and Fabio Paratici emerging as frontrunners. Conceição’s position, while seemingly secure according to club statements by Furlani who denied rumors of conflict with Ibrahimovic and a potential managerial change, remains a topic of discussion given the team’s recent struggles. Furlani further stated the season has been insufficient. The club also addressed press reports, stating they do not necessarily confirm the veracity of information published in the press. The club’s youth team, however, celebrated a victory, with Inter Primavera defeating Fiorentina 2-1.
