The issue of selecting a head coach at the start of Milan's season has been a hindrance to their development, and the poor results produced by new coach Fonseca have led to significant dissatisfaction among the upper management. After an intense conflict, he was forced to step down, causing Milan to suffer a setback. Initially, they considered inviting Conceicao to coach, but he did not want to come, which led to some reservations from the Milan management, giving Fonseca the opportunity. However, the problem is that he proved to be unreliable and did not fulfill the trust placed in him.
Subsequently, Milan invited their old acquaintance Conceicao again, and this time he did not reject Milan, accepting the offer and becoming the new owner of San Siro. Conceicao's agent Mendes had multiple conversations with Milan owner Cardinale, laying the foundation for their cooperation. It is reported that Conceicao sent a positive signal to Milan, wanting to make up for his regret of not coming to San Siro in the past. The Milan owner was also speechless, but this summer, Milan ultimately made a big mistake by choosing to hire Fonseca.
According to Conceicao himself, after joining Milan, he will manage strictly, which has led many media outlets to question him. It should be noted that the main problem with Theo and Leo at Milan is their disobedience. If Conceicao is even stricter than Fonseca, it is unknown how they will consider this issue. According to reports from journalists, he shouted loudly during his first training session at Milan, showing great strictness. The Milan players probably have not encountered such a situation before.
Of course, the Milan management is being very cautious. This time, they signed Conceicao only until the end of next season, ensuring only the second half of this season. If he performs poorly, he will leave. Poor performance refers to failing to secure qualification for next season's Champions League.
Naturally, the decision to dismiss Fonseca by the upper management was also due to this factor. If it were to reach the new year, they would have to pay him a lot more salary. Therefore, it is more cost-effective and reliable to quickly dismiss him. However, it remains to be seen how much support Conceicao will receive from the upper management this season and what he will buy during the winter transfer window.
