AC Milan unveil stunning special 125th anniversary kit
AC Milan and Puma have unveiled a stunning new kit for the club's 125th anniversary. The kit will be worn by AC Milan in their next home match in San Siro against Genoa in the Serie A.
AC Milan have presented a beautiful new kit for the club's 125-year celebration. The new kit is crafted by the renowned brand PUMA to give a tribute to the Rossoneri's 125 years of legacy as one of the greatest Italian clubs ever, and the shirt will be donned by AC Milan players in their next home game against Genoa in the iconic San Siro Stadium.
The fourth kit of AC Milan this season is a special edition kit, to celebrate the club's legacy of long 125 years. Founded in 1899, AC Milan have consolidated themselves as one of the greatest Italian clubs in history. The shirt is significantly unveiled today, on 5 December 2024, which is 12.5 if numerically written.
The iconic red and black striped design which originally emerged in the 1950s now enhances the beauty of the new kit; whereas the logo describes "Milan Football and Cricket Club". The badge pays homage to the very first logo of the club and Herbert Kilpin, the club's founder who wanted the club to represent both football and cricket. An emblematic symbol of AC Milan during the 1980s called 'Diavoletto', which means 'Little Devil', is printed inside the jersey with an inscription that reads 'AC Milan 125.'
Back in December 2023, AC Milan invited some of its loyal supporters to the 'Design our Jersey. Design our Legacy' campaign. The key elements from AC Milan's long pages of history were chosen by the loyal supporters to be designed in the jersey. Only 1899 shirts each for a goalkeeper jersey, a football, and a limited edition retro jersey will be available to be purchased by fans. These shirts will also feature a unique serial number and receive an exclusive packaging. This is a tribute to the club's founding year, 1899.
Franco Baresi, AC Milan's Honorary Vice President expressed his emotions about the special jersey:
This jersey is a reflection of AC Milan’s soul - its passion, its history, and the vision for its future. As someone who has proudly represented this Club for 50 years in many different roles, this milestone represents a moment of celebration and unity for the entire Rossoneri family. The 125th Anniversary is a testament to the values and spirit that make AC Milan extraordinary, and this kit is a beautiful way to honour our journey while celebrating the unwavering bond with our fans.
On behalf of PUMA, Marco Mueller, PUMA’s Senior Director of Product Line Management Teamsport said:
The 125th Anniversary kit is not only a celebration of AC Milan’s past but also a tribute to the unwavering passion of its fans. We’re honored to have worked with the Rossoneri faithful to create something that’s not only a piece of football history but also designed for performance and pride.
The 125th-anniversary kit was officially unveiled yesterday in Milan in an exclusive event at the club’s Flagship Store in Via Dante. This special kit will make its exciting on-field debut on December 8 when AC Milan Women will take on Inter Milan in the Milan Derby, followed by the men's team facing Genoa on December 15 at the San Siro Stadium.
Sergio Conceicao will reportedly leave AC Milan at the end of the season
Conceicao, who was appointed in December 2024, is expected to be let go by AC Milan at the end of the season, with the possibility of being sacked in the upcoming weeks.
AC Milan have reportedly finalized the decision to part ways with current manager Sergio Conceicao following the end of the ongoing season.
According to multiple reports from Italy, the Portuguese manager can also be shown the door if the Rossoneris fail to earn victories against in their upcoming two matches against Lecce and Como, which are scheduled to take place before the international break in March.
Despite winning the Supercoppa Italiana with AC Milan in January, while beating the eternal rivals Inter Milan in the final, Conceicao failed to lead Milan to the coveted success in Serie A this season.

According to Italian journalist Nicolo Schira, Conceicao's tenure at AC Milan "will be over at the end of the season". With another looming threat over the 50-year-old, he could lose his job as early as this month, if Milan suffers defeats against Lecce and Como before the international break.

Corriere della Sera, another well-known Italian media outlet, reported that Milan may consider dismissing head coach Conceicao before the summer clause takes effect. This would allow both parties to part ways 'early' if the team's performance does not improve in the coming week.
The pressure is now mounting on Sergio Conceicao as AC Milan is currently positioned ninth on the Serie A leaderboard, having accumulated 41 points across 27 games.
Conceicao (right) replaced Fonseca (left) as the AC Milan head coach in December.
During the summer, Conceicao was already a top candidate for the head coach position at Milan. However, the club ultimately chose Paulo Fonseca for the role. After a few months of disappointing results, Fonseca was dismissed, and his compatriot Conceicao took over as the new head coach.
The former FC Porto manager took charge of AC Milan on 30 December 2024. Under his managerial radar, the Rossoneris have played 17 matches, achieving 8 wins, 3 draws, and 6 losses so far.
Conceicao's tussle with Arrigo Sacchi

Sergio Conceicao's stay at Milan has been distressing due to the continuous speculations from different discussions. Recently, the Portuguese manager has been heavily criticized by the legendary former Milan coach Arrigo Sacchi, who "feels that it is ‘complicated’ for Conceicao to salvage his job in San Siro".
In his La Gazzetta dello Sport column, Sacchi conveyed his belief that it is "complicated" for Conceicao to save his job at San Siro. He also believes that the main issue is the lack of unity among the squad, which he sees as more significant than the team's results or the absence of goals on the pitch.
Sergio Conceiçao has not brought the benefits that all the supporters were expecting. Milan is in ninth place. This is not a position for a club that has written the history of football. We need to stop and seriously reflect with humility.
In response, Conceicao did not hold back his frustration over Sacchi's recent criticism, noting Sacchi's earlier praise contrasted with his current daily attacks in the media.
Two months ago, he said I was an important coach, now he criticizes me every day. I sent him a message, but he didn’t reply…
In another controversial incident, Conceicao's relationship with the Milan officials has seemingly deteriorated. The manager faced a backlash when his spokesperson claimed he felt unsupported by the club's management and criticized the team's structure.
However, Conceicao publicly denied these statements, affirming the club's support and his regular communication with the directors.
🎙️ O porta-voz de Sérgio Conceição tinha afirmaso que o técnico se sente sozinho e sem apoio da diretoria, criticando a estrutura do Milan e o comprometimento do elenco. Mas o treinador negou tudo, dizendo que o clube está com ele e que mantém contato diário com a diretoria.… pic.twitter.com/u4RfHKVGK8

The upcoming weeks will be very crucial for Sergio Conceicao, as he will leave no stone unturned to end his tenure at Milan on a high, bringing Rossoneris close to the qualification zone for the continental competitions.

Team News
AC Milan
AC Milan had a shaky start to their UCL campaign this season, but they have bounced back smoothly with three back-to-back wins. The Rossoneri clinched all nine points against Club Brugge and Slovan Bratislava and recorded a historic 3-1 victory over Real Madrid and the Bernabeu. Milan have already witnessed bright hopes for their knock-out qualification and they will put their all on the field to keep their match-winning streak in UCL intact.
However, AC Milan suffered a discouraging 1-2 defeat against Serie A leaders Atalanta in their last outing, and they are currently struggling in the league. Milan have accumulated 22 points in 14 matches so far, currently standing at the 7th position. Although the Italian side is currently positioned 17th in the UCL 2024-25 league table, having bagged 9 points in 5 matches.
Coach Paulo Fonseca has brought some fresh air to the Milan club after their emphatic three wins in the UCL, but he must assemble a squad without some players who are suffering from injuries. One of the most crucial players for Milan this season, Christian Pulisic will miss the game due to a calf muscle injury. Alessandro Florenzi, Ismael Bennacer, and Noah Okafor will also be sidelined.
AC Milan, who are automatically the favourites tonight. will leave no stone unturned for a win at their home ground to elevate their chances of qualifying for the UCL knock-outs.
Crvena Zvezda
Crvena Zvezda managed their first UCL win of the season only in their last UCL outing against VfB Stuttgart as they registered a huge 5-1 win. The Serbian side will not be short of higher aspirations before taking on AC Milan in an away game for them, as they have won all of their last five games across all competitions.
The Red-Whites are in scorching form in the Serbian League this season, having already won 16 out of their 17 games in the Serbian SuperLiga. They have scored a mammoth 55 goals as well in the league so far. However, they have lost their first four UCL games this season and are currently positioned 31st in the UCL table, having earned 3 points in 5 matches so far.
Head coach Vladan Milojević will have to field a strong starting eleven to take on the Milan side with first-team goalkeeper Omri Glazer and forward Peter Olayinka being sidelined.
Zvezda has a slight chance of qualifying for the knock-outs, and that too depends on different factors. However, they must replicate their sublime performance against VfB Stuttgart to take a point away from San Siro tonight.
