Sergio Conceicao is in dire need of three points tomorrow, following three consecutive defeats for AC Milan, but the situation hasn’t been made easier by his entourage. According to a report, complaints have purposely been leaked to the media.
Milan’s season has been a circus so far, parting ways with Paulo Fonseca and making hefty investments in January, only to find themselves in 9th place. While Conceicao hasn’t been brilliant, there are a lot of factors in play for the decline.
As reported by Corriere della Sera, the atmosphere at Milanello is currently very tense, fueled by detailed complaints that Conceicao’s entourage leaked to the media. “A long and detailed j’accuse spread by people close to the coach,” the report states.
Lack of support from the club and Cardinale: First and foremost, the manager feels that he hasn’t received enough support from the management, even though Geoffrey Moncada was present at Milanello yesterday. He finds it disrespectful, furthermore, that he hasn’t even had a conversation with Gerry Cardinale once.
Confusing chain of command: Conceicao feels disorientated as he doesn’t understand how the Rossoneri’s chain of command works and who is responsible for managing the first team. Therefore, often finding himself alone in the role of the iron sergeant, he would like a director by his side.
State of the players: Conceicao believes he took over a team in subpar condition from a physical point of view, with legs weighed down by a poor pre-season preparation.
Late signings: Finally, the manager also wasn’t happy with the delayed arrival of most signings during the January window, leaving him with little time to get to know them before some very important games.
While Conceicao himself quickly denied that those are his thoughts, it’s safe to say that this was the last thing he and Milan needed now.
So Fonseca have a bad pre season? was it because of Euro?
Late signing. Well this one on management, they always seems to be dragging their feet in negotiations of transfer and contract.
If we look at all the complain, it seems that sergio rather inherit the problems.
He is right, if these are his complaints. Preseason was subpar and wasn’t helped that some players came late. Till this day we still don’t know what Ibra’s role is exactly. Besides walker we got every signing in the last week/few days which can’t be ideal for the the coach
This guy complains a lot. Cardinale knows nothing about football. What’s the point in meeting him? I’m not sure Furlani knows a lot either.
You don’t know anything about life, obviously. That is why you are asking what is the point.
Conceicecao all the time complain complain nothing but complain, #out crying Conceicecao
Pioli didn’t have a pre season when milan signed him, yet he deliver the best football in a long while for us
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is exactly what’s needed #Get Elliot / Redbird out.
Unfortunately, Sergio Concecaio is spot on. He is correct. The club is in an absolute mess. There is no order and no one knows what’s going on. Since Maldini left and the key players were sold/loaned, the owners are operating like headless chicken.
The sooner they sell the club, the better it is for everyone
This seems intentional, maybe even coordinated by Conceicao to give outsiders a perspective of the chaos at Milan. None of the “lies” seem like lies though, do they?
– Absent Owner
-Incompetent and often distant management
– Non-committed players
Does any of this seem far fetched? I’d say, well done by the spokesperson and Conceicao for (likely) coordinating this. Not sure what is damaging to him form these “rumors” …
Another big problem is Milan fans,we lack patience with the coaches and players, hence, putting heavy pressure on their shoulders as if we have the likes of Sheva,Seedorf,Maldini,Nesta, Kaka,Inzaghi,Crespo,Tomason,Stam , Mark Vanbomel, just to name a few
