Motta, Rose or Gallardo – Milan could turn to alternatives after Conceicao delay

AC Milan have discovered that they must wait longer if they want to land Sergio Conceicao and that is why other names might now come back into fashion, a report claims.

According to this morning’s edition of Tuttosport (via PianetaMilan), one name can be crossed off Milan’s list of candidates because Lille boss Paulo Fonseca is expected to join Marseille when his contract expires.

Conceiçao of Porto remains among the possibilities and yesterday there was the long-awaited face-to-face meeting with André Villas-Boas at the training centre, but from what emerge sthere was no talk of his future.

Instead, the plan was made to talk about his future after the Portuguese Cup final against Sporting CP which will be played on Sunday 26 May, which is obviously not good news for Milan who want to get planning as soon as possible.

Thiago Motta remains ‘in the background’ for the Rossoneri. The Bologna coach, who has been strongly linked with Juventus in the event of Massimiliano Allegri’s replacement, is a profile that Milan like a lot.

Antonio Conte – despite the desire of the fans – is not in the management’s plans. Other names that include Marco Rose of RB Leipzig and Marcelo Gallardo , who won everything with River Plate and now coaches Al-Ittihad in Saudi Arabia.
