What happened. Sergio Conceicao warned incoming Milan coach Ruben Amorim that the job 'won't be easy', pointing to the intense pressure and expectation at San Siro. He argued the head coach has not been 'the problem' at Milan, citing the dismissals of Massimiliano Allegri and several senior directors after the 2025-26 season.

• Conceicao says people at Milan expect league and Champions League titles every year.
• He called the club atmosphere a major challenge for Amorim.
• Conceicao's own six-month Milan spell ended with an eighth-place finish.

“I send him a big hug and wish him good luck on this new journey, which won't be easy at all”

— Sergio Conceicao
