One of the questions that many AC Milan fans had after the change of head coach was who will wear the armband and the first answer is here.

Sergio Conceicao didn’t have much time to work with the team as he was only announced as the new coach on December 29th, but in his pre-game press conference He made it clear that he doesn’t see that as an excuse.

One of the topics that has been discussed is who will be the captain. Davide Calabria is the club’s official captain, but no longer has a guaranteed starting place, so Theo Hernandez regularly acts as vice-chair.

Paulo Fonseca opted for a more democratic approach, even handing over the armband to Rafael Leao at one point, but now that he is no longer in charge, everyone has a clean slate again.

Mike Maignan was chosen for the Juventus game. As one of the leaders of the dressing room, the goalkeeper will no doubt feel a responsibility to ensure the transition to a new era is as smooth as possible.

“We are here to act and react, we must do better. I know my teammates and we will try to do our best. The fans don’t like the results, but neither do we: we have big ambitions,” said the Frenchman his comments before the game.
