Since taking over as AC Milan's head coach, replacing the dismissed Paulo Fonseca, Sérgio Conceição has implemented a series of rules for the Rossoneri squad concerning schedules, nutrition, and conduct both on and off the pitch.
What are Conceicao's rules for the Milan team?
Here are some examples, as relayed via Milannews.it: restrictions on smartphone use, daily weight checks each morning, and a ban on showing up to lunch or meetings in slippers.
None of the players have complained, not even when the Portuguese coach announced that the team would return to staying at Milanello the day before matches.
This was reported this morning by Corriere della Sera, which also highlighted a statement Conceição made in yesterday’s press conference, clearly reflecting his perspective on the matter: “This is a job, not a hobby.”
In just one week at the helm of the Rossoneri, the Portuguese manager has reinvigorated Milan, securing a trophy that could mark a turning point after a very disappointing start to the season.
