Supercoppa Italia: AC Milan defeat Inter to win title in Conceicao’s first week

New AC Milan manager, Sérgio Conceição, finished off an incredible first week by lifting the Italian Super Cup on Monday.

The Serie A club had appointed Conceição to replace Paulo Fonseca, who was sacked as manager last Monday.

Despite struggling with sickness, he was on the bench, as Milan beat Juventus 2-1 in the semi-final on Friday.

Rossenori came from one goal down to win that game and were again two goals down to their local rivals Inter Milan.

Conceição’s men again showed resilience, pulling back to 2-2 and, with the game in added time and heading for penalties, Tammy Abraham scored a dramatic winner.

“The team has character, it managed to win games against two great teams in the end,” Conceição told Mediaset.

“At half-time the coach has to change certain things, that’s why they pay me.”

Conceição will take charge of his first match in the Italian league at home against Cagliari on Saturday.
