Moncada states Milan are ‘very happy’ with Conceicao and praises Jovic | OneFootball

AC Milan director Geoffrey Moncada has stated that the club are ‘very happy’ with Sergio Conceicao, as well as striker Luka Jovic.

Milan are nine points off the Champions League places and they exited Europe at the hands of Feyenoord, which led to widespread reports that there would be big changes at the end of the season.

One of the major alterations should be the appointment of a new sporting director, though doubts have emerged about who might arrive given how long it is taking to hire one.

In the meantime, Conceicao and Jovic were the major architects of the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg win over Inter, as the former got his tactical approach spot on and the latter scored a brace.

Moncada spoke during an interview with DAZN before kick-off in Venice and he answered questions on a number of different topics, with his comments relayed by MilanNews.

How much would a possible victory in the Coppa Italia change your opinion on the season?

“We are not satisfied with the Serie A standings, we are not happy. Winning trophies is important for us, for a club like Milan: we want to win the Coppa Italia, the only chance to get to Europe.”

And Sergio Conceicao?

“We are very happy. The coach has worked hard in 3 months: he has brought a methodology and an important intensity to Milanello. We work well together.”

Is the technical project still going? Can you do without a new sporting director?

“We always talk about goals, but there are also performances that are interesting. We made mistakes in many games and we could have done more. We have a structure, we are AC Milan, there are people who work.

“We are thinking about a sporting director to develop the club, to take another step. But we have a structure and an organisation that is already important.”

What is Jovic’s contractual situation?

“Well done to him and the coach, they worked to get to this level. We have everything under control on the contract: it’s not a renewal but an option. We’re happy with him, he did well and I hope he does well again in these last games.”
