There was a moment during the Coppa Italia trophy ceremony that raised eyebrows, when Milan coach Sergio Conceicao and Bologna defender Davide Calabria had an extremely frosty reunion.
The pair had famously got into a row after the final whistle when they were on the same team in January, which prompted the right-back to immediately leave the club where he grew up and played over 200 games.
A late win for Milan wasn’t enough to prevent Sérgio Conceição and Davide Calabria from having to be separated 😬 #MilanParma pic.twitter.com/RRFELHUDS8

Calabria moved to Bologna on loan with his contract running down on June 30, but they were reunited on the field at the Stadio Olimpico when the Rossoblu beat Milan 1-0 in the Coppa Italia Final.
Conceicao and Calabria reunited
Sport Mediaset and Spazio Milan noted that when Bologna were having the guard of honour for Milan to pick up their silver medals, Calabria hugged and saluted all his former teammates.
The mood changed a little when Conceicao stepped up and didn’t even look Calabria in the eye.

The defender tried to make a gesture anyway and patted the coach on the back of the shoulder as he walked past.
Calabria has won two trophies this season, as he was in the squad that lifted the Supercoppa Italiana with Conceicao in January for Milan, then in the Bologna side that took the Coppa Italia.
Love you Suz
Davide Calabria… being the bigger man and being the one to offer an olive branch, even if he is on the winning team!! Good guy… he never should have left despite all the hoolabaloo.
Never understood what his i55ue was with Davide. He is better than tomori and walker put together. I’m happy for him and Pobega. Real men who love Milan. Pasteis de nata needs to grow up.
Conceicao has show himself to be a puny, petty little man. He will be remembered as the sad, salty face of this humiliating failure of a season
Conceicao is a childish loser LOL
