The chaos continues at Milan with the issue of Sergio Conceição's spokesman which is enriched with a new chapter.

After the information launched by La Gazzetta dello Sport and the denials, the collaborator's resignation and the Portuguese coach's comment in the press conference arrive.

Conceição's words

Sergio Conceição, who intervened in the press conference, spoke about this topic. Here are his words reported by milannews.it.

"I'm sorry for this situation. I didn't understand why, it's not clear what this former collaborator did to me, I don't know if he was paid by someone. I didn't understand. A journalist called me and sent me a screen of these points he refers to. He did it out of malice, I'm sorry for everyone. Also for those who work here at Milan. We are all here every day, Zlatan and Geoff are here every day. Discussions with me, and with the team, discussions all together... We had a clean week to work on other things with the whole group available, even Florenzi who returned. It was the first week like this, we did a good job, everyone is involved. I left Porto with a not beautiful situation and until today I haven't talked about it yet. Imagine then that I'm here working and I start talking about these delicate things. In the legal venues, I will respond, who paid him and why he did it."

Resignation and reconstruction

The Portuguese coach's spokesman, with a message, backtracked and resigned from the position.

"None of the points have been validated by coach Sérgio Conceição, nor are they binding for him as a professional. For the mistake made and the damage to the reputation caused, I immediately resign from my position with the coach. The published information contains several errors and inaccuracies, particularly with regard to the relationships between team members, technical staff, and the Milan management. They do not reflect the truth of the facts, but rather unfounded rumors and assumptions."

A message of apologies to Milan and Conceição himself. But what happened? Yesterday, the representative of the Portuguese communication had sent a message to some journalists with some alleged complaints from Conceição against the structures, players, athletic preparation left by Fonseca, and the lack of contribution from the management. Voices then denied by the coach from whom further answers are expected in the press conference.
