Sergio Conceicao has been sought by several teams, but also by a national team, the signing was really one step away
Sergio Conceicao has only been the coach of AC Milan for nine days. The Portuguese coach landed at Linate airport at lunchtime on December 31 and has tied himself to the Diavolo until June 30, 2026.

As widely reported, the coach is assured of leading the Rossoneri team at least until the end of the season, as the club has secured, through a clause, the possibility of premature termination of the agreement with the former Porto man.
Sergio Conceicao, somewhat like what happened with Paulo Fonseca in the summer, took very little time to accept Milan. He thus said yes to €1 million until June 30. Then a 3.5 million euro net salary is ready for the new season. For the Portuguese, opportunities after his farewell to Porto have certainly not been lacking: some have written about the Brazilian national team and offers from England, with Wolves in the lead, but it is today’s news of strong interest from Belgium. The Yellow Devils would have liked to entrust their bench to Conceicao. SudInfo.be is the writer: he would have earned twice as much. The signing would have been a step away, right during the month of December. Then Milan arrived and there were no more doubts.
Conceicao-Milan, sboccia subito l’amore
Today to imagine a separation at the end of the season between Milan and Sergio Conceicao is really complicated. The Portuguese coach immediately won over just about everyone: from the management to the players.

The hugs to Theo Hernandez are emblematic, of a desire to turn over a new leaf. The turning point was there so immediately, with two comeback victories, against Juve and Inter and a trophy raised to the sky, amid tears, smiles, hugs and dancing. Before that, however, there had been screaming, shouting and split TVs. Conceicao took Milan, also making the Diavolo’s coffers smile, with eleven million more. In fact, the coach has already amply paid his salary. Now it will be necessary to conquer a Champions League placement and try to go as far as possible in Europe, not forgetting the Coppa Italia, a trophy definitely within this Milan team’s reach.
The article Conceicao-Milan is already love, the backstory before the signing: he was close to a national team was written and published in its original version on Milanlive.it.
