Barely arrived on the Milan bench, Sergio Conceiçao puts his hierarchy in place. While Paulo Fonseca was a fan of changing the armband between several members of his squad, the former manager of FC Nantes chose Mike Maignan. At a press conference before the Juventus reception, he explained that Maignan “has this personality that I like, because he’s a winner, Theo too. But really, that shouldn't be a concern. A captain must not worry about so-and-so and so-and-so, otherwise he forgets what he has to do.”
The Portuguese coach nevertheless qualified his remarks. “For me, it’s not important. Whether it's a 17-year-old boy or a 35-year-old guy, everyone must have the responsibility to do their job well. Everyone should be able to express themselves in the locker room.he said. No more rotation with Theo Hernandez and Davide Calabria, now the boss is Mike Maignan.
