It is a secret of the Polichinelle, but Sérgio Conceição should not last long in the spans of San Siro. As a reminder, the former Porto coach, who replaced Paulo Fonseca at the end of December, signed a contract until June 2026 with a salary of one million euros until June 30, intended to be increased up to 2 million in the event of maintenance. But at the time of the signing, a clause was inserted by the Rossoneri which allows early termination in the event that, at the end of the current championship, the minimum qualification objective for the next Champions League would not be achieved: “The most important thing is Milan, it is not Conceicao who remains or not. I'm sorry for supporters, because I'm used to winning. This thing hurts me. I am really injured by these results. I don't feel well at all right now. And what I do in these moments is working, even more. What touches me the most are the players, seeing their faces, disappointment, with great frustration“He had explained, shortly before the international break.
