**Riyadh, Saudi Arabia –** AC Milan’s newly appointed manager, Sergio Conceicao, will face his son, Francisco, who plays for Juventus, in the Italian Supercup semifinal on Friday. The highly anticipated match, taking place at Al Awwal Park in Riyadh, will see a unique father-son clash.

Conceicao, who took over from Paulo Fonseca earlier this week, emphasized his commitment to leading AC Milan to victory. He stated that while family ties are important, his focus will be solely on securing a spot in Monday’s final. “We have a huge responsibility… to make our supporters happy and proud,” he said, promising an aggressive approach against Juventus. He dismissed any notion that facing his son would affect his performance, declaring, “There is no place for feelings on the field.”

Juventus manager Thiago Motta echoed this sentiment, stating that Francisco will be fully focused on the game regardless of his role.

This year’s Supercup, held in Saudi Arabia for the fifth time, features AC Milan, last season’s Serie A runners-up, and Coppa Italia winners Juventus. The match promises to be a thrilling encounter, with both managers prioritizing victory above all else.
