Sérgio Conceição refused this big selection before going to Milan

This Monday evening, in the wake of AC Milan's victory against Inter Milan in the Italian Super Cup (2-3), Sergio Conceição revealed that he was close to accepting the advances of a national team before accepting the coaching position with the Rossoneri: “ A selection came and asked me to work with them, I considered accepting, but the offer from Milan arrived and I didn't think twice. »

Although he refrained from revealing the name of this so-called selection, the Belgian media SudInfo, then the Portuguese daily BALLrevealed that it was Belgium. According to A BOLA, the Belgian federation would have offered a three-year contract to the Portuguese technician as well as a better salary than the one he now receives in Milan. But the sirens of the red and black were louder than anything, and it is in Italy, and still within a club, that Sérgio Conceição now officiates.
