AC Milan have been looking for a top-tier head coach for some time, and it seems they may have found one in Sergio Conceicao, with some deeming him reminiscent of Jose Mourinho.

It could be argued that having a top-level coach can be more impactful than having some players, and we are already seeing this to a degree with Conceicao. Under Paulo Fonseca, certain key players struggled to show their best.

With Conceicao, there has already been a notable difference. Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao, Milan’s two biggest players, have returned to their former states, and whilst the team still needs work, there are signs of something special brewing.

It is those signs that link Conceicao to the Special One, Jose Mourinho. Radio Rossonera first recalls how Gazzetta dello Sport described the new head coach, and how he is reminiscent of his fellow former Porto coach.

He has brought the ‘Rossoneri world back down to earth‘, his football is concrete and when communicating there are also similarities.

Corriere dello Sport then looks to the comebacks, and how they ‘never happened’ under the former head coach. For Conceicao, his motivational levels are clearly above his predecessor, and perhaps comparable to another iconic Portuguese coach.

It is early days of course, but Conceicao could be as big for Milan as Mourinho was for Inter, at least that is what will be hoped inside the walls of Casa Milan.
