Sergio Conceicao was called in for a crisis meeting with the Milan directors on Sunday morning following the team’s disappointing 2-1 defeat by Torino on Saturday, but the board still have confidence in the Portuguese tactician according to the latest updates.
Christian Pulisic has described the last few days as a ‘really tough week’ for the Rossoneri. They were eliminated from the Champions League by a depleted Feyenoord side on Tuesday, and then suffered a disappointing loss away to Torino in Serie A, which means they have now won just once in their last four matches.
A victory for Juventus in their Serie A match against Cagliari later on Sunday would put the Rossoneri eight points off the Champions League positions. They are currently 16 shy of the league leaders.
According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport, via Milannews.it, Conceicao, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani gathered for an emergency debrief following the Torino defeat to analyse the defeat and the poor run of form over the last few weeks.
According to Sunday’s reports, the Milan board still have faith and confidence in Conceicao, and lay the blame of the Torino defeat at the feet of the players, rather than the coach.
Calciomercato.com, however, suggest that ‘nobody’ is safe at Milan as things stand, and that a continuation of Milan’s current form would be untenable.
