Sergio Conceicao’s bench already in the balance in the Rossoneri, very delicate situation and future under scrutiny for the Portuguese coach: what’s happening
A very short-lived honeymoon at Milan with Sergio Conceicao. This is the scenario facing us at the end of a month of January that had opened in the best possible way for the Rossoneri, with the surprising triumph in the Italian Super Cup. Upon returning from Arabia, however, the Diavolo resumed the same up-and-down trend it had with Fonseca.

Performances with many ups and downs, moments of almost inexplicable blackouts and a trend that cannot be reversed. With the aggravating factor of a defeat that has complicated everything in the Champions League: the Zagreb knockout forces the Rossoneri into the February play-offs, and the basically baffling evidence put on the field in Croatia is fueling controversy once again.
In short, the feeling, for Milan, is that we have not in fact moved from where we were a few weeks ago. And at this point, reflections are in order. The club is reasoning about the position of Conceicao, who in the event of defeat in the derby against Inter could be resoundingly at risk after only a few weeks. But also watch out for the possible and resounding step backward by the coach himself.
Milan, nessuna svolta con Conceicao: i tifosi chiedono le dimissioni sui social
There is no ideal atmosphere between the coach and the team. The Calabria case had anticipated this, against Dinamo Zagreb we saw once again a soft and not very combative team on the field.

And that is why several fans, on the sidelines of the Zagreb match, propose the solution of resignation. Not in a manner critical of the coach, for whom little responsibility is identified, but as a recognition that the group does not follow him and seems difficult for any coach to manage.
If I were #Conceicao I would resign my position immediately.

Social media return the thermometer of a potentially explosive situation. Tomorrow night’s derby could be a crucial watershed in the Diavolo’s season.
