Criticized for his results and the game offered by the Rossoneri, the 58-year-old Italian technician, Stefano Pioli, should not continue the adventure with the Rossoneri next year. Julen Lopetegui, who played for Wolverhampton, Sevilla and Real Madrid, was announced as the favorite to land in Lombardy, but the option was quickly ruled out and the Spanish coach was heading towards West Ham United instead.
Thus, the Italian press explained that three profiles were now targeted. A reduced cast including Sergio Conceição (49 years old), the current coach of Porto, Paulo Fonseca (51 years old), the manager of LOSC and Ruben Amorim (49 years old), the manager of Sporting Portugal who now seems to be moving away from Milan. As we explained, Paulo Fonseca, who has a good chance of leaving the North of France in the coming weeks, is a priority for Olympique de Marseille, while LOSC also hopes to extend him.
Sergio Conceição wants to leave Porto
Bringing him to AC Milan remains a big task, but on the other hand, the situation is much less complicated for Sergio Conceiçao. According to information from the Gazzetta dello Sport, the current Porto coach will meet André Villas-Boas, the new strong man of the Portuguese club, to free himself from the FCP. The ex-manager of Nantes hopes that AC Milan will choose him, while a salary of 4 million euros per year is already mentioned. Additionally, his agent, Jorge Mendes, is also reportedly pushing for a departure.
Sergio Conceição was also absent from the presentation of André Villas-Boas as president of Porto on Tuesday. And if AVB tried to justify his absence due to a team training earlier in the day, the divorce seems to be becoming clearer. Recently, Mark van Bommel, targeted by Feyenoord to replace Arne Slot and Roberto Martinez, who has the 2024 European Championship to prepare with Portugal, were also contacted. If Sergio Conceição now seems the big favorite, the management of the Lombard club will have to make a choice.
