Christian Pulisic scored twice during AC Milan’s 3-2 comeback victory against Lecce, significantly easing pressure on Sergio Conceicao, who could have faced dismissal had the team lost.

Despite conceding two early goals, AC Milan turned the match around in the second half with an own goal from Lecce’s Antonio Gallo and Pulisic’s contributions. He netted a penalty soon before delivering the decisive goal, marking a break from a series of three consecutive league losses prior to this match.

After the match, it’s clear that while Pulisic’s performance bought time for Conceicao, the club’s leadership is still contemplating future changes. AC Milan is exploring options for a new sporting director after a tumultuous season, with names like Igli Tare and Andrea Berta in consideration.

Next month, AC Milan will face Inter in the semifinals of the Coppa Italia while also aiming for a spot in European competitions next season.
