Milan: Conceicao on tough spell, club was absent | OneFootball

Former Milan and Porto coach, Sergio Conceicao, spoke to the microphones of “La Gazzetta Dello Sport”, where he discussed the difficulties he encountered during his time at Milan.

Milan, Conceicao reflects on his months with the Rossoneri: “Difficult situation, the club was absent”

These are the words of the former Rossoneri coach: “Positive months at Milan. From 2016 to today, only two coaches have won trophies with the Rossoneri: Pioli, with the championship, and me. If we add up the points from our period, we had a Europa League pace, fifth place. The results were there: I think of the two derbies won and the success against Roma. It's a shame about the Coppa Italia final, but there were some things I didn't like. There was instability at the club level, and the environment around the team wasn't good. That's why I hold on tight to what we achieved. Moreover, the management did not support me. Let me give you an example: after winning the Super Cup, we played against Cagliari. At that time, rumors were already circulating that the club was following other coaches. I focused on working and winning, with the weight of the results. I didn't have time to work on all levels. Would I have stayed? Yes, but with some changes.”

“Super Cup victory? I remember intense days of work in terms of video analysis, motivation, and speeches to immediately get into the players' heads. We beat my son Cisco's Juve and then Inter in a comeback. And I cried. The cigar? A promise. The players, who had seen some videos, asked me to smoke it in case of victory. With Porto, I had done it 11 times, that is, after winning trophies. The coach who has won the most. And so I did it again.”
