At the end of a spectacular final, AC Milan and Sergio Conceiçao won the Italian Super Cup this Monday evening, to the detriment of Inter. In the locker room, the Portuguese coach put on a show.
Clearly, Sergio Conceiçao made his debut on the AC Milan bench. Winner of Juventus in the semi-final of the Super Cup for his first match at the head of the Rossoneri, the Portuguese coach saw his players win the final against Inter this Monday evening.

The goals from Lautaro Martinez at the end of the first half (1-0, 45+1st), and from Mehdi Taremi after the locker room (2-0, 47th) had put AC Milan in deep trouble. But, as against the Old Lady, the changes of Conceiçao and the resilience of the Milanese made it possible to change things.
The scenario completely changed after Rafael Leao came into play in the 50th minute. AC was much more enterprising and scored three times, via Théo Hernandez (2-1, 52nd), Christian Pulisic (2-2, 80) and Tammy Abraham (2-3, … 90+ 3rd), to achieve an unexpected victory in the Italian Super Cup.
A victory worthily celebrated by Sergio Conceiçao in tears at the final whistle. In the locker room, the Portuguese coach, who became the first foreign coach to win a trophy with AC Milan since… 1979, took out a cigar, lit it and danced to the rhythm of “Danza kuduro”. A scene already seen when he was still officiating at FC Porto.
After this Super Cup final played in Saudi Arabia, the Milanese will return to Italy this Tuesday to begin preparations for the reception of Cagliari on Saturday in Serie A. Sergio Conceiçao’s first less “glamorous” match, which he does not However, you should not miss it.
