Among the many names mentioned in recent weeks for the role of the new Milan coach, one that has emerged with greater force in the last few hours is that of Sergio Conceiçao, coach of Porto for the last seven seasons.
The Portuguese coach has gained great experience in recent years leading the Dragons, launching several young talents, and is familiar with the environment of Italian football. Today could be decisive for his future, as emphasized this morning by Tuttosport, almost warning the Rossoneri club: "Milan, today Conceiçao becomes available."
A meeting with Villas-Boas, the new president of Porto, is indeed expected. The coach has a clause in his contract to leave in case of a change in leadership. Agent Jorge Mendes is pushing him towards the Rossoneri and even the bookmakers believe it.
With the defeat in the presidential elections of Pinto da Costa, the historic Porto president, Conceiçao is no longer sure he wants to stay and would trigger the clause for early departure. In all of this, agent Jorge Mendes is pushing for Milan to move for the coach, who would be one of the best available in terms of experience.
"Behind him there is always Fonseca, who will leave Lille but is tempted by Marseille. Van Bommel is further behind, and keep an eye on the outsider Gallardo", writes the newspaper.
