Tuttosport: Conceicao set for ‘sad farewell’ as season goes up in smoke | OneFootball

It has been a tough few months for AC Milan, and regardless of your views on Sérgio Conceição, you can’t help but feel a bit bad for his tenure.

There are some very mixed opinions on Conceicao and his time at Milan. In his first moments, he delivered a Coppa Italia, but barring that it has been rather bleak. However, it can certainly be argued that this is a problem far bigger than him.

The Portuguese has tried three systems, each showing weaknesses – though it can be argued this is more about his squad than himself. Furthermore, he is working with a slightly different side from what Stefano Pioli had available, so it is not even his team, or that of his predecessor.

Change is desperately needed, and Conceicao’s departure comes into this, something which may be a regret in the future. However, last night’s loss to Bologna made the future clear – a ‘sad farewell’ inevitable, as Tuttosport (via Milan News) writes.

Time has flown from the moments of joy in the changing rooms of Riyadh to the changing room of Rome, and the messages were clearly very different. Now, there is no escaping the fact that this season has been a failure, and with Conceicao already threatening to open Pandora’s box, you fear the worst.
