The Sergio Conceição effect has immediately borne fruit at Milan, which managed to win the Italian Super Cup by defeating Juventus and Inter. Someone who knows him well is Fernando Orsi, his former teammate at Lazio, interviewed by Tuttosport. Here's an excerpt of his words:
What was he like on a personal level?
"Moody, with incredible mood swings. However, he knew how to joke around a lot and was great company. Let’s put it this way: if you called him out or reprimanded him, he’d react depending on how his day was going."
He continued to talk about Sérgio Conceicao:
"But off the pitch, he was different. He came to my wedding with Fernando Couto, and both were incredibly sociable with the guests. After Milan's Italian Super Cup victory the other day, I saw the cigar scene: that’s Sergio for you, someone capable of forging significant empathy with others."
