According to reports, Sergio Conceicao, the Portuguese coach, is under maximum pressure. While it has already been confirmed that he will leave at the end of the season regardless of results, Calcio Mercato claims that Conceicao could be dismissed before the season ends.

The report states that Milan’s management has warned Conceicao that the team must defeat Inter in the Coppa Italia semi-final. A loss against their city rivals would mean Conceicao’s immediate dismissal.

Although Conceicao initially succeeded by defeating Inter to win the Supercoppa Italiana, Milan’s management does not prioritize that trophy and believes winning the Coppa Italia is essential for securing European qualification.

Milan sees Inter as the biggest obstacle to winning the Coppa Italia. The club’s management believes that if Conceicao’s team reaches the final, they can defeat Empoli or Bologna to claim the title. Thus, the match against Inter has become a do-or-die battle for them.
