Among the names linked to Milan to take up Stefano Pioli’s legacy on the Rossoneri bench there is also that of Sergio Conceicao, Porto’s current technical guide who a couple of weeks ago had signed a contract renewal until 2028 but tied to Pinto da Costa’s stay in the presidential cadre. The last elections instead saw Andre Villas Boas win and now the new Dragoes board is studying what to do, with the possibility that the coach could free himself through the specific clause included in the agreements.
The doubts of Villas Boas, now head of the club’s Board of Directors, concern the financial and economic planas he writes this morning Record. One of the points of the former coach’s electoral campaign was precisely budgetary rigor and discipline from an economic point of view. The Portuguese newspaper does the math and highlights how the renewal of Conceiçao – who receives 3.5 million – with bonuses and other factors ends up costing the club 28 million in four years.
A figure that the new president could consider excessive. This too will therefore be discussed in the meeting between Villas Boas and Conceiçao which should be held in the next few hours. With Milan continuing to remain on the sidelines in the meantime.
