AC Milan’s recent struggles have put manager Paulo Fonseca’s position in jeopardy, with the upcoming derby against Inter Milan potentially deciding his fate. The club’s management, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Geoffrey Moncada, held meetings at Casa Milan to address the crisis that has destabilized the Rossoneri environment.
Calciomercato report that while the club had previously expressed full support for Fonseca, the recent poor performance and loss against Liverpool in the Champions League have created a significant rift with fans who were never fully convinced by the Portuguese coach’s appointment. The derby against Inter on Sunday evening will be crucial for Fonseca’s future, with a defeat potentially leading to his dismissal.
Several factors contribute to the possibility of a managerial change, including disappointing results and a lack of understanding between the coach and players. While names like Allegri and Sarri have been mentioned as potential replacements, these options seem unlikely at present.
A new candidate has emerged in the form of Edin Terzic, the former Borussia Dortmund coach. Milan has reportedly made indirect inquiries about Terzic and is evaluating the pros and cons of appointing him. This choice would provide tactical continuity for the team.
