Conceicao blanks ex-Milan captain Calabria during Coppa Italia Final ceremony | OneFootball

There was a moment during the Coppa Italia trophy ceremony that raised eyebrows, when Milan coach Sergio Conceicao and Bologna defender Davide Calabria had an extremely frosty reunion.

The pair had famously got into a row after the final whistle when they were on the same team in January, which prompted the right-back to immediately leave the club where he grew up and played over 200 games.

Calabria moved to Bologna on loan with his contract running down on June 30, but they were reunited on the field at the Stadio Olimpico when the Rossoblu beat Milan 1-0 in the Coppa Italia Final.

Sport Mediaset and Spazio Milan noted that when Bologna were having the guard of honour for Milan to pick up their silver medals, Calabria hugged and saluted all his former teammates.

The mood changed a little when Conceicao stepped up and didn’t even look Calabria in the eye.

The defender tried to make a gesture anyway and patted the coach on the back of the shoulder as he walked past.

Calabria has won two trophies this season, as he was in the squad that lifted the Supercoppa Italiana with Conceicao in January for Milan, then in the Bologna side that took the Coppa Italia.
