OM has made good progress on the Sergio Conceiçao file. The Portuguese is best placed to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset on the Marseille bench. However, his adventure in Porto ended badly and this complicated OM’s affairs.
Not qualified for Europe, OM is close to making a big move regarding its future coach. The Olympian club is in advanced negotiations to sign Sergio Conceiçao. The Portuguese technician has been one of the most highly rated in Europe for 7 years since his arrival at FC Porto. However, he is reaching the end of his cycle with the Dragons. His departure seemed inevitable for several weeks. Indeed, former OM coach André Villas-Boas became president of FC Porto. Conceiçao was closer to former president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa. However, a twist of events disrupted Conceiçao’s plans and those of OM at the same time.
Conceiçao betrayed by his deputy and Villas-Boas
The Portuguese newspaper Record reveals that André Villas-Boas is close to appointing Vitor Bruno, historic assistant to Sergio Conceiçao, on the FC Porto bench. An unexpected choice that made Conceiçao mad with rage. He took the news very badly, discussing with his loved ones “ a stab in the back, a betrayal » signed Vitor Bruno. The coach targeted by OM immediately explained himself to his president, André Villas-Boas.
The interview between the two men was heated. Conceiçao considers himself betrayed and wants to make Vitor Bruno and André Villas-Boas pay for it. While he was supposed to leave the Portuguese club without fuss, he now refuses to break his contract according to Record. This is far from being anecdotal since its lease was extended a few months ago and runs until 2028. A standoff begins in Porto and will undoubtedly slow down the club’s summer projects as well as those of Olympique. from Marseille.
