Sergio Conceicao was called in for a crisis meeting with the Milan directors on Sunday morning following the team’s disappointing 2-1 defeat by Torino on Saturday, but the board still have confidence in the Portuguese tactician according to the latest updates.
Christian Pulisic has described the last few days as a ‘really tough week’ for the Rossoneri. They were eliminated from the Champions League by a depleted Feyenoord side on Tuesday, and then suffered a disappointing loss away to Torino in Serie A, which means they have now won just once in their last four matches.
A victory for Juventus in their Serie A match against Cagliari later on Sunday would put the Rossoneri eight points off the Champions League positions. They are currently 16 shy of the league leaders.
Conceicao survives Milan emergency debrief
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Milannews.it, Conceicao, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani gathered for an emergency debrief following the Torino defeat to analyse the defeat and the poor run of form over the last few weeks.
According to Sunday’s reports, the Milan board still have faith and confidence in Conceicao, and lay the blame of the Torino defeat at the feet of the players, rather than the coach.
Calciomercato.com, however, suggest that ‘nobody’ is safe at Milan as things stand, and that a continuation of Milan’s current form would be untenable.
Appalling. It will only aid to further destroy Milan’s season.
I feel like I read they had a meeting after the Feyenoord loss and discussed how “unacceptable” everything was. Zlatan was “angry.”
That meeting resulted in a loss to Torino on a weekend Lazio and Bologna gave up points ahead of Milans match. Now Fiorentina and Napoli have done the same. We’ve been missing opportunities since Zagreb – What about this meeting was different?
Sack him for what?
So they can hire the next puppet for a few months and watch him fail too with this collection of players mindlessly cobbled together?
The players are too soft for the current manager. And soft players will get their way at soft clubs.
And it’s not as if Milan have two cents to rub together to hire an expert manager – they need what little money they have to sign the next fading “name” from the epl bargain bucket.
Milan have always been successful when they’ve had 1 or 2 Italian players who actually gave a damn on the field. Maldini, Nesta, Pirlo, Gatusso. Now they have players with the mentality of spoilt children. Leao, Theo who are weak mentally. Coaching also hasn’t been great but what can you expect when the seat has become a revolving door do to poor management.
Everyone should feel confident with Ibra as part the Brain Trust for Milan’s future…
