Tracked by Nantes this winter, Sergio Conceição was named to AC Milan on Monday. The latter mentioned the Canary club during its preparation.
Close to OM last summer, tracked by FC Nantes this winter… Sergio Conceição led the transfer window in Ligue 1 but it was at AC Milan that he bounced back. A return to the Canaries to replace Antoine Kombouaré? The Portuguese didn't want it this winter, he who had done an XXL job during his stay in Loire-Atlantique in 2016/2017. On Monday, after parting ways with Paulo Fonseca, the Serie A legend appointed Sergio Conceição, and the latter has already spoken to the press.
Presented by Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the Portuguese technician did not hide his pride. “I am proud, it is a pleasure for me to work for such a great club, which I have already known as a player and then as a coach. For me, this is a step forward in my career,” he explained as reported by La Gazzetta Dello Sport.
“The fans are the soul of a club and we have to work hard to prove that we are worthy of Milan. If I'm here, it's not a good sign, that's clear. We have to think, although we don't have much time to work on the first game, but we don't complain and we don't make excuses. We are here to win,” to Sergio Conceição.

Next, the new Rossoneri coach was asked about his time with the Canaries. Does he arrive in a similar situation among the Lombards? Sergio Conceição has decided. “Nantes and Milan are different situations, the period is the same but the squads were different, the environment was different,” he initially estimated.
“We can't compare them, because here the pressure should give us an extra boost, not the other way around. But yes, we had done a lot of work. (…) We have a difficult job ahead of us, but we are confident in what will happen,” assured Sergio Conceição. The works are announced important for Sergio Conceição.
