Sergio Conceição transformed Milan in just seven days, capping his success with a wild locker-room celebration after a stunning Super Cup comeback against Inter.
Sergio Conceição has worked wonders at AC Milan in record time. After the sacking of Paulo Fonseca, Milan appointed the former Porto coach, and the results were spectacular. In just a week, Conceição revived a struggling Milan side, leading them to victories over Juventus and Inter, and securing the Italian Super Cup in dramatic fashion.
The Super Cup final, played in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, was especially memorable. Milan found themselves trailing 2-0 to arch-rivals Inter until the 52nd minute. What followed was an incredible turnaround as Milan clawed their way back to win 3-2, thanks to players brought on by Conceição during the second half. The victory marked a triumphant start for the Portuguese tactician.
Following the remarkable win, Conceição’s post-match celebration in the locker room went viral. A video shows the Milan coach lighting a cigar and dancing to Don Omar’s hit Danza Kuduro, much to the delight of the players. Reportedly, Milan’s squad convinced their new coach to recreate his famous celebration from 2022, when he danced with a cigar after winning the title with Porto. This time, he added musical accompaniment, making the scene even more memorable.
