Conceicao Reveals: “I Chose Milan to Claim the Champions League Glory!”

At the recent 'Coimbra Football Congress 2025', Sergio Conceição, the manager of Milan, candidly elaborated on the motivations behind his decision to take the helm at the storied club. "I always aimed to compete in one of the toughest leagues worldwide. My ultimate dream is to clinch the Champions League, and this is why I opted for my current position," he remarked, acknowledging the challenges that come with leading a team where choices are limited: "I was aware of the hurdles I would face, with little time for training and the pressure to deliver results." The Portuguese coach pointed out the hectic schedule his squad has been up against, stating, "In just 30 days, we've played nine matches. The lack of time for proper training is exceedingly tough, and it's hard for me to instill my style into the team." He reflected on the bittersweet moment following their Supercoppa triumph over Inter, when a slip-up against Cagliari due to an individual error cost them points. Since then, there’s been a flurry of speculation linking various managers to the club amidst this transitional phase of Conceição's leadership. As the season progresses, fans can expect a mixture of tenacity and ambition from the Milan side under Conceição’s guidance, as he navigates the treacherous waters of high expectations and the quest for glory. - Resource: "https://sport.sky.it/calcio/serie-a/2025/03/23/sergio-conceicao-milan-intervista
