Today, Portuguese manager Sérgio Conceição was appointed as the new head coach of AC Milan, and his debut match promises to be a uniquely special occasion.
Details: Conceição's first game in charge of Milan will be the Italian Super Cup semifinal against Juventus, a team featuring his son, Francisco.
While managing Porto, Sérgio Conceição saw his son rise through the ranks to earn a spot in the senior squad and eventually the Portuguese national team.
Francisco Conceição has played 19 matches for Juventus this season, registering three goals and five assists. Juventus is reportedly eager to make his move permanent, as he is currently on loan from Porto.
The Juventus-Milan clash is scheduled to take place in Riyadh on Friday, January 3.
Reminder: Following yesterday's 1-1 draw against Roma, AC Milan's management parted ways with Paulo Fonseca.
