According to a Repubblica report (via Sport Medianet), AC Milan Coach Sergio Conceicao has set up a strict diet for his players in order to remedy the bad form of the team in Serie A. After having identified weight problems with key players, whose goalkeeper Mike Maignan, Conceicao estimates that excess weight has led to their agility and their performance. The new diet aims to improve physical condition and reverse the situation of the team.

Conceicao has been cautious in its efforts to relaunch the situation in Milan, ensuring that players pass a daily weight control. In addition, Portuguese staff closely monitor the sleeping habits of players, who have been reported as insufficient and not in accordance with professional standards. While some may consider these measures as a final appeal to reverse the situation, they could also provide crucial information to optimize players' performance and clarify the team's selection in the future.

Threatened conceicao

The designing position in Milan would be seriously threatened. According to some recent information, AC Milan's failure to reach a place in the top 4 of Serie A – and therefore a place in the Champions League next season – could lead to the start of the Portuguese coach.

Since Conceica's continuity with the Rossoneri is not guaranteed next season, many names have emerged to occupy this position. Among these names is the former midfielder of Barcelona and Arsenal Cesc Fabregas, which was impressive with the promoted Como.
