Milan’s reflections continue ahead of next season. Turnaround for Conceicao: bench reversal on the horizon.
The long-awaited breakthrough on the Ds issue has not yet arrived at Milan. The club, for several weeks now, has started the casting process aimed at identifying a manager to be entrusted with the task of setting up the 2025/26 squad and choosing the new coach however the various talks staged so far have not been enough to produce the white smoke: Igli Tare, for example, is not entirely convincing while Atalanta and Bologna have taken steps to armor Tony D’Amico and Giovanni Sartori respectively.

Unexpected complications from Gerry Cardinale and CEO Giorgio Furlani, who have meanwhile defiled themselves from the race regarding Fabio Paratici (unable to work before June 20 due to disqualification for the capital gains case). The reflections will continue in the near future however, at the moment, it cannot be ruled out that the club will postpone the decision until next year and decide to entrust, once again, the task of managing market operations to the duo composed of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and technical director Geoffrey Moncada.
A scenario, this one, considered very likely by Davide Parolo. “Milan,” explained the former footballer and now pundit during Dazn’s ‘Step on football’ podcast, “is not taking any Ds, they remain the same. As for the bench, several names have been circulating recently: from Massimiliano Allegri, who is quivering with the desire to get back in the game after the turbulent farewell to Juventus consummated last May, to Cesc Fabregas, protagonist of an excellent season at the helm of Como.

Also alive is interest in Roberto De Zerbi (no longer sure of staying at Marseille) and Maurizio Sarri, who was let go by Lazio in March 2024. Now, however, the most likely scenario is the confirmation of Sergio Conceicao. The Portuguese coach, who took over from Paulo Fonseca at the end of December, won the Italian Super Cup in January by beating Inter in the final and in recent months has tried to revive the team by centering, once again to the detriment of the Nerazzurri, qualification for the Coppa Italia final.

Not only that. The Lusitano has shown great determination and attachment to the Rossoneri jersey: qualities that have not escaped the eyes of Ibrahimovic and Moncada who, in these hours, are considering keeping him in as reported by Parolo himself. “As of today, Milan has such confusion that they do not know who to take as Ds and Moncada and Ibra want to remain them in charge and Conceicao is the right man for them.”
