Milan's technical director, Sergio Conceicao, and defender Davide Calabria were involved in a scuffle after their team’s 3-2 victory over Parma in Serie A. Conceicao apologized for the incident, saying that it is not pleasant to see, but that such situations occur in football and it is important to move on.
In a press conference, Conceicao admitted to being a passionate and straightforward person, explaining that the adrenaline of the match was quite high, but that they managed to resolve things after the incident. The exchange between the Portuguese coach and the Italian right-back occurred in a moment of euphoria following the last-minute goals that secured the victory for Milan.
After the match, Conceicao approached Calabria to reprimand him, to which the player responded firmly. Other team members had to intervene to calm the situation. According to reports, the coach's dissatisfaction stemmed from Calabria and other players attending a concert two days before the match, which was not well received.
Both Conceicao and Calabria offered public apologies after the incident. Calabria mentioned that it was a misunderstanding and that the important thing was the match. Conceicao, for his part, acknowledged that sometimes things get out of control on the field, but that the main thing was winning the match and getting past the incident.
