Pellegatti unveiled what Sergio Conceicao’s future will be: the announcement took all Milan fans by surprise.
Despite the comeback victory in Lecce, Sergio Conceicao’s future remains very uncertain. Last Saturday’s reversal at the Via del Mare (from 0-2 to 3-2) probably saved the Portuguese coach’s bench but for many only momentarily. The work done so far by the former Porto coach has not convinced the Rossoneri management: a new helmsman is already being considered at Milan.

The names circulating most in the corridors of Via Aldo Rossi are those of Massimiliano Allegri and Antonio Conte. The coach from Livorno, who has been free for almost a year after his farewell to Juve, would be happy to return to coach in an environment he knows very well (he won a Scudetto and an Italian Super Cup with the Diavolo). It is more difficult to get to Conte, who is under contract with Napoli but not so convinced to remain at the helm of the partenopei.
However, Carlo Pellegatti has mentioned two other names for the Milan bench. On his YouTube channel, the famous journalist and Milan fan spoke about Maurizio Sarri, who is very much liked by the Rossoneri management and who has also been free for about a year after parting ways with Lazio. Not only that: according to Pellegatti, the club is also closely following Roberto De Zerbi, with whom contacts had already been initiated last year.

However, according to the journalist, it is not yet certain that Conceicao’s adventure on the Rossoneri bench is really over. On his YouTube channel, the big Diavolo fan points out that the possibility of the former Porto man staying on is not so remote. Now AC Milan has one game a week, except for the Coppa Italia semifinal against Inter: “If we would see progress in the game, performance and results,” Pellegatti says, “Then we must also ask ourselves the question.

Conceicao can still confirm himself through results: the Portuguese coach brought home the Italian Super Cup and aims to do the encore with the Coppa Italia, which would moreover guarantee access to the Europa League. “Agreed Allegri, agreed De Zerbi,” Pellegatti concludes, “but with performance and results he could be in with a chance again next season.
Already in the coming competitions it will become clearer what Sergio Conceicao’s fate will be: it is not excluded that a good end to the season could lead to the confirmation of the Lusitanian coach.
