Milan put Conceicao under scrutiny ahead of crucial Bologna and Lazio clashes

Sergio Conceicao is the head coach of AC Milan during the match between AC Milan and FC Inter in Serie A at Stadio San Siro in Milan, Italy, on February 2, 2025. Sergio Conceicao’s tenure as Milan head coach is under intense scrutiny following recent setbacks, and the club might reportedly consider the prospect of an immediate sacking if negative results persist in the upcoming crucial matches against Bologna and Lazio. The Rossoneri directors are said to be extremely disappointed after the recent Champions League playoff elimination at the hands of Feyenoord and the latest Serie A defeat at Torino. Their 2-1 loss to the Granata left the Rossoneri eight points behind the fourth spot, which guarantees qualification for next season’s Champions League—a primary objective for the club. While...

(Photo by Claudio Villa/AC Milan via Getty Images) Milan and Bologna could arrange a player-plus-cash swap deal involving Noah Okafor and Riccardo Orsolini late in January. According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Sergio Conceicao’s men have lodged a formal bid for the Italian winger. However, the Bologna management firmly rejected Rossoneri’s opening proposal. Indeed, Milan offered €18 million plus Okafor for the long-serving Rossoblu stalwart, only to receive a negative response immediately. Yet, it won’t discourage them. As it looks, Milan are determined to sign Orsolini this winter. Therefore, they’ll soon pitch Bologna with a new bid. They’d put...

Atalanta Suffer Massive Injury Scare in Bologna Draw

Problems keep piling up for Atalanta at the start of the new campaign as Marco Brescianini faces a potentially lengthy spell on the sidelines. The former Frosinone midfielder picked up an injury during Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Bologna at Renato Dall’Ara. Brescianini tried to break the deadlock on the stroke of halftime when he latched on to Sead Kolasinac’s cut-back on the edge of the six-yard box. Despite a delightful first touch, the Atalanta star caught the turf as he was trying to pull the trigger, injuring himself in the process. The 24-year-old immediately asked for medical attention. However, he refused to leave the pitch despite being treated near the end-line. Moments later, he collapsed to the ground again and had to hobble off the field in pain, with Lazar Samardzic taking...

Napoli host Bologna with Conte under pressure

Napoli manager Antonio Conte had no interest in speaking about the transfer window and only wanted to talk about football and their next Serie A game with Bologna, when he faced reporters on Friday. His side suffered a 3-0 loss at Hellas Verona on the opening day and after fielding question after question regarding the club’s ambitions in the transfer market before that game, he was in no mood for a repeat. “Let’s redirect the press conference immediately,” Conte told reporters. “Last week we had a press conference where we spoke only about the transfer market. I received zero questions about Verona, or maybe one, there was no talk of football, and then what happened, happened. Regarding the market you need to ask the club, but I see you are quite informed because I also read about it...
