Milan, Conceiçao’s sad farewell: no bench with Monza

Saturday night is scheduled Milan-Monza. A match with nothing at stake. The Rossoneri close a complex and disappointing season, the Biancorossi are already preparing the team to try to return to Serie A. A tough protest by the Curva Sud, tired of the figures accrued by the Diavolo in this year to forget,

is also scheduled at San Siro.

It will also be the last match, as Milan coach, for Conceiçao. The Portuguese coach canceled his pre-match press conference and will not even be on the bench. A disqualification hangs over him that will force him to watch the challenge from the stands, leaving the place to his deputy Joao Costa.

A sad and silent farewell for the Portuguese coach. Having arrived with pomp and circumstance with the conquest of the Italian Super Cup, Conceiçao has since been lost along the way. The defeat in the Coppa Italia final against Bologna sealed his fate.

A.C. Milan is already reorganizing for next season, looking for new and motivated figures who can kick-start a major revival. The’arrival of Tare as sporting director is just the first step toward an inevitable revolution, clamored for by all the fans. Milan-Monza counts for nothing except to say goodbye to those who will be gone next year, and the feeling is that there will be many who will no longer wear the Diavolo jersey, not just Conceiçao.
