Former Lazio player and ex-Porto manager Sergio Conceição was asked to discuss his past in the Italian capital.

While talking to Radiosei, Conceição reiterated his fondness for the Biancolesti.

When asked about his future plans given his recently expired contract with Porto, Conceição did not hide his animosity towards Roma.

“I have never forgotten Lazio. I had a great time here, I often come to Rome and the Lazio fans have remained in my heart,” said the Portuguese coach.

“I’m a professional, you never know where I might end up. This city certainly filled my heart. I continue to say ‘Forza Lazio’ all the time, I also did it last season on TV after a Champions League match.”

“I have to look ahead. I can coach any team, but certainly not Roma, ever.”
