The latest on Milan’s future. Is the Diavolo expected to make a bid to snatch him from Bologna after the final? Here is the journalist’s answer

Already tomorrow will be Coppa Italia eve for Sergio Conceicao’s Milan. On Wednesday, at the Stadio Olimpico, the Rossoneri will face Vincenzo’s Bologna for the final match worth a trophy. All attentions, then, are to the match against the Rossoblu.
There is no alternative after a rather disappointing season. Clearly, raising the cup to the sky would make it less bitter. But in the parts of Via Aldo Rossi, thoughts are being given to the future. To a future that must see Milan compete with the big teams to win the league and perhaps the Europa League.
A fresh start will therefore be needed, but from which coach? That is the question many are asking themselves. A question that no one can answer at the moment. Sergio Conceicao’s quotations are rising sharply, and as of today Giorgio Furlani has not closed for another profile.
Fans thus ponder and try to figure out what is best for the Diavolo. Most supporters seem to be aligned toward one idea: either get a top coach, such as Antonio Conte (or at most Massimiliano Allegri) or stay with Sergio Conceicao. An idea that the ownership might embrace as well.
There are, however, those who think differently about Conceicao: “You hear people say these days, ‘Whatever, he fixed the defensive phase, Conceiçao has brought Maignan back to his level, Theo in that role is rendering, Leao more centered in the Milan project.’ I, however, believe that the season since he arrived is Conceiçao should be evaluated.”
“Conceicao, destino segnato”

Says Giorgia Rossi, at Aria Fritta, podcast of Calling Yourself Bomber, who then adds, “So if we say: Conceiçao didn’t have time to prepare the team, then we don’t even give him credit for winning the Super Cup. That is, Milan won the Super Cup with adrenaline, strength and grit. If, on the other hand, we want to evaluate Conceiçao for what he has done, undoubtedly he has not improved, if we go and see in the long run, Milan, compared to what Fonseca’s first Milan was. So I think Conceiçao’s fate regardless of how this final goes is sealed.”
The journalist thus makes the name she would like to see at AC Milan: “I like Vincenzo Italiano a lot as a coach. Then Bologna rightly wants to keep him, they will do everything they can to keep him, also he is very well in Bologna because he is doing what he likes, he has a serious club that wants to invest and every year to prove that he is there at the top, and he is doing that, so that definitely. I am Milan though, I give it a try. Then he and Bologna reject me, but an attempt I make.”
