Upon arriving in Milan, Sérgio Conceição is almost immediately faced with rumors about his dismissal. This is incredibly frustrating for the coach himself.
Details: The “Rossoneri” coach stated that the Italian press is showing him disrespect in this way, as all these rumors somehow affect the team. And it certainly can’t be called pressure.
Quote: “In the time I’ve been here, I’ve won the Super Cup, and immediately there were talks about my future, about the next coach who might come while I’m still here. I’ve been living football for 40 years. As for me, I don’t mind, but day by day this manifests as disrespect.
It may seem like there’s no one here, but there is both a person and a coach. The players read the news. After that, it’s hard to achieve stability within our group. I didn’t come from another planet. I’ve been in my profession for 14 years. Pressure? Yes, but it doesn’t look like that. A club like Milan can’t be complacent, but the atmosphere since I’ve been here, after the Super Cup, immediately turned negative,” Conceição stated.
Reminder: Recent rumors suggest that the Portuguese is very likely to leave the club, and Massimiliano Allegri will become his successor.
