"There was some unexpected drama involving former AC Milan boss Sergio Conceicao and the ex-Inter head coach Simone Inzaghi over the weekend. As Calciomercato.com recall, after the final whistle of the big Saudi Pro League match between Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad, there was no handshake between the two coaches. As a reminder, Inzaghi is with the former, and Conceicao with the latter."
"Sunday's match was anything but a trivial affair between two heavyweights of the Saudi league. Al-Hilal prevailed, winning 2-0 thanks to an own goal from Doumbia and a goal from Marcos Leonardo. However, it was at the end of the match that controversy erupted."
""Maybe it has something to do with our last match, when I beat him as Milan coach [0-3, in the Coppa Italia semi-final second leg]. Maybe we'll meet again in the future and things will go differently. There's nothing wrong with that," the former Porto boss said."
Al-Hilal defeated Al-Ittihad 2-0 in a Saudi Pro League match, with an own goal by Doumbia and a goal from Marcos Leonardo. After the final whistle, Simone Inzaghi and Sergio Conceicao did not exchange the customary handshake. The absence of a handshake drew attention and led to Conceicao being questioned during the post-match press conference. Conceicao suggested the snub might relate to a previous 3-0 Coppa Italia semi-final win by Milan when he faced Inzaghi. Both coaches previously played together at Lazio over 20 years ago, yet relations between them appear strained.
