Arrigo Sacchi believes Milan coach Sergio Conceiçao lacks a ‘solid management’ behind him and is even unconvinced by the Rossoneri’s transfer activity: ‘If you sign players just for their name, you have little hope.’
The Diavoli find themselves eight points below the top four in Serie A but have a game in hand to be played against Bologna on Thursday.

“Look, with this Milan, anything can happen. Against Torino, I didn’t see a team. If I were a Bologna fan, I’d be thinking, ‘If we don’t win against Milan now, when will we?'” Sacchi told Corriere della Sera.
“In football, one of the most important things for a coach is having solid, capable, and present club management behind them. Well, I don’t think Conceiçao has that.
“The fact that they’ve bought around twenty players sounds really bad to me. First, you need to have a clear idea and work on that. If you sign players just for their name, you have little hope.”
