Giovanni Galli, another Milan legend, has expressed confidence in Conceição, citing his experience at Porto as a key factor. Do you agree with Galli’s assessment?
“Absolutely. Conceição’s time at Porto speaks for itself. He knows how to get the best out of his players, and he’s not afraid to make big decisions. Milan needs a manager who can create a winning culture, and Conceição seems to be the man for the job.”
Some fans might argue that Paulo Fonseca’s departure was premature.What’s your take on the transition?
“It’s always challenging to say definitively whether change was necessary.Fonseca certainly had some good moments,but ultimately,Milan wasn’t progressing as they had hoped.

“I think it’s still too early to talk about the scudetto. Juventus and Napoli are strong contenders, and Inter will always be a threat. However, if
Conceição can get the players playing with confidence and belief, then Milan could definitely challenge for a Champions League spot.
The first season under a new manager is always a period of adjustment, but I’m optimistic about the direction the club is headed.”
