A lot of the headlines surrounding tonight’s game between Hellas Verona and AC Milan concern Paulo Fonseca’s future at the club.
As Calciomercato.com recall, Fonseca’s pre-match press conference on the eve of the trip to the Stadio Bentegodi was surprisingly calm, and he once again reiterated that he does not feel at risk of being sacked.
The club have unofficially shown their support for Fonseca who they chose in the summer, but it is inevitable to think that tonight’s game could be decisive. Milan are already 14 points behind the leaders Atalanta and 8 from the Champions League zone, after the dull 0-0 home draw against Genoa.
In the event of a draw or defeat, Fonseca could be sacked as per the source. It is right to point out that Milan have not had any direct contact with other coaches at the moment, but there are naturally ideas in place.
They point in the direction of an Italian coach or one who knows Serie A. This is why Xavi – sounded out by Zlatan Ibrahimovic in the spring – is an unlikely candidate at the moment, despite the reports suggesting otherwise.
There have been rumours about Roberto Mancini in recent days but the most accredited option is the one that leads to Max Allegri, with Maurizio Sarri in second place. The former Juventus coach has made it known that he is available to talk to Milan.
Not only that, but Allegri has also stated that he is ready to take over from Fonseca immediately, unlike other foreign projects that he would only consider starting in July.
I would rather have Xavi who fits our formation (where would leao and Hernandez and Pulisic go in a 3-5-2?) and Xavi finished 10 points behind a strong ucl winning Madrid side, while allegris juve finished 24 points behind 1st last season, allegri can’t compete with other good managers he can only thrive with a team if there’s little to no competition+allegri ball is so boring to watch, just staying at the back for a total of 80 min a atavking once every 40 min
Get ready for a physical boron Milan under allegri. You’ll see RLC at 10 for a start, and none of the youngsters..
Capello was boring too but his defense and team was solid and he won back to back Serie A titles with Milan. I don’t care about boring. I only care about winning and Milan cannot play an attacking style of football in Serie A.
Serie A way more tactical than any other league and it was beyond stupid of Milan management to hire a foreign coach and also stupid to think that Milan can play attacking football in Serie A.
That shows how naive they are because all attacking teams find it difficult against serie A teams in the Champions League, Europa League and the Conference League.
Serie A teams often come out on top against these teams. Just look at how Atalanta dominated Liverpool and Bayer Leverkusen and Juventus beating Man City, Milan beating Liverpool etc.
Serie A is built for counter attacking football and this is how Milan should play.
But atlanta can play attacking style and win.
So fúck winning via boring football.
As if Fonseca was doing something good for us. At this point of time, nobody is worth watching, the question is merely who is going to get the job done.
