Massimiliano Allegri’s name is appearing on AC Milan’s shortlist to replace Paulo Fonseca, but it seems difficult to imagine due to a rocky relationship, according to a report.
At present, Milan are believed to have a four-man shortlist to replace Fonseca. Of course, this may grow as other candidates are evaluated with agents presenting their clients, and more importantly, when (slash if) the Portuguese head coach departs.
If Fonseca were to depart today, it seems likely that the job would go to Thomas Tuchel, Edin Terzic, Maurizio Sarri or Massimiliano Allegri, but there appears to be issues regarding the last manager.
In the past, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the former-Juventus coach have had their differences, and Corriere della Sera (via Milan News) reports that they do not have a great relationship with one another, which makes things difficult.
Ibrahimovic is believed to have a poor relationship with the current coach, and there is a split between the duo after only a few months. So making an appointment where there will be a similar frostiness makes little to no sense theoretically.
Perhaps the question needs not asking of any potential incomings, but rather of Ibra. In his role, he must now be a leader, and if these problems are to keep occurring, perhaps he is not in the right role.
Not sure who was favouring a move for the current coach but Ibra will follow the exit door right after him. Then there’s no relationship problem anymore
Ibra needs to understand that you need to have a good relationship with your coworkers. Only two months in with fonseca and there’s problems. Reports of problems with pioli. Who’s the common denominator here?
Tuchel or Allegri but Ibra needs to be shown the exit door. Being a top players is different from being a good manager
Damn, Rade Krunic lack of awareness just allowed Benfica to score a goal from a position that should have been easy clearance for him.
This Terzic would be an interesting choice for us guys
There is a reason why Dortmund didn’t keep him despite him being an UCL finalist.
It would be easier to name those who have or have had a good relationship with Ibra.
I’ll start.
😂😂
You forgot those coaches:
Ibrahimovic needs to leave with Fonseca. Ibrahimovic was 100% behind the decision to bring this coach in. If the coach leaves, so will Ibrahimovic. Period.
