Report: Sergio Conceicao unfazed by Inter and Lazio past, open to AC Milan move from Porto.
Tonight, Milan gears up to face Genoa on the pitch, yet the spotlight shifts to the impending vacancy for the head coach position, with Stefano Pioli’s departure appearing imminent.
According to Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport (via Radio Rossonera), Sergio Conceicao emerges as a focal point in discussions. Bianchin suggests Conceicao’s intention to stay at Porto altered due to recent presidential elections, positioning him as a contender on Milan’s radar for Pioli’s replacement.
Initially, Conceicao’s contract hinged on Pinto Da Costa’s presidency at Porto. However, André Villas-Boas’s victory in the elections prompted a shift in plans, rendering Conceicao’s future uncertain.
With a meeting scheduled with the new Porto president tomorrow, speculation looms over Conceicao’s potential departure. Notably, a bilateral clause in his agreement allows termination should Conceicao opt for it, hinting at his inclination to seek new horizons.
Despite his past ties with Inter, Conceicao’s desire for a Milan move remains unwavering, as expressed by Bianchin, who asserts, “If he could he would sign tomorrow, the rivalry as a former Inter player wouldn’t be a problem: ambition weighs much more.”
