It has not been a very well-kept secret that Conceicao and Milan would part company after just six months together. As results on the field initially failed to improve from the Paulo Fonseca era but then picked up, we broke the news that the Portuguese was thinking of walking away regardless.
Conceicao and Milan to meet
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), Conceiçao will return from Portugal in the next few hours and together with the club he will set up an appointment for a face-to-face meeting.
The contract between the Rossoneri and the coach expires in the summer of 2026, but with the possibility – for both parties – to free themselves from the agreement twelve months in advance. It is an option that the club will use, to then start a new course.
Sergio – who promised to tell his side of the story – would probably have activated the exit clause too. He he is tired and worn out after a season lived with many difficulties and always exposed on the front line.
He never took a step back, except for necessity, like in the last game at San Siro when he was forced to watch the victory over Monza from the skybox given that he had to serve a one-game suspension.
He will thus return to being the master of his own destiny: he will be able to evaluate the alternative proposals that will arrive, perhaps more suited to his style of play based on intensity and competitive nastiness.
The meeting with the club could be scheduled even before the weekend, especially amid the rumours that Massimiliano Allegri is on the verge of being named as his replacement.
