Milan confusion as Conceiçao denies spokesman’s claims

Sergio Conceiçao’s spokesman said the Portuguese coach was unhappy with the team and the club’s management, but the Rossoneri boss denied it: ‘Nothing that has been reported about me is true.’

Milan coach Conceiçao has denied claims from his own spokesman, who said the Portuguese was unhappy with the club’s management and the team’s commitment.

Multiple sources in Italy report that Conceiçao’s spokesman informed the media about the coach’s irritation regarding the training facilities at Milanello, the team’s poor athletic preparation, and the squad’s lack of commitment, especially in key players.

Furthermore, Conceiçao’s representative said the Portuguese were disappointed with the management’s lack of support, the absence of a clear technical project, and Cardinale’s distance.

Conceiçao quickly denied the claims and told Gazzetta: “I am suffering a lot because of Milan’s current situation, but nothing that has been reported about me is true. The club is always present, and I know it stands with me.”

According to the pink paper, Conceiçao had a meeting with Milan directors last night to clear the air and clarify his position.

Today, he will hold a pre-match press conference on the eve of a Serie A match against Lecce. According to various sources, Conceiçao will drop Rafael Leao, Theo Hernandez and Santiago Gimenez at the Via del Mare on Saturday.

In the meantime, club CEO Giorgio Furlani has met owner Gerry Cardinale in New York to discuss the club’s plans for the future and clarify the roles within the management.
