With Paulo Fonseca’s future in extreme doubt, AC Milan are building a shortlist of replacements to evaluate, and a name of extreme interest has offered his willingness for the job.
The summer was a difficult period for Milan. After sacking Stefano Pioli, it seemed Julien Lopetegui was next in line to lead the Rossoneri, but due to fan backlash, the move did not get the final approval.
Following Lopetegui, Fonseca was the next to be chosen, and whilst there was backlash once again, the Diavolo hired the Portuguese coach. Fast forward to now, and it seems that decision could have again been the wrong one.
Milan have started the season woefully, winning only one of their five games and conceding nine goals in the process. It is fair to say, they look completely lost, and there is little to no hope that Fonseca can drag the squad out of this situation.
Going into the Derby della Madonnina, hopes could not be lower. There is already a write-off feeling, and should a defeat happen, it seems that goodbye would be the only option for Fonseca.
Four candidates currently are being evaluated for if this were to happen, as Gianluca Di Marzio reports. Maurizio Sarri and Massimiliano Allegri are the favoured domestic options, and a report has suggested that the former-Lazio coach is the favoured choice.
Away from Italy, Edin Terzic is an option, as is Thomas Tuchel – a name that fans were dreaming of during the summer. Interestingly, Di Marzio suggests that the former Bayern coach has ‘offered his willingness to negotiate’.
With Stefano Pioli no longer on Milan’s books, perhaps their budget may be higher than it was in the summer, and this could open a door for a higher-value coach like Tuchel. However, it remains to be seen what the Rossoneri will do.
With the management ego … No way they’d go for a strong character coach , just looking for a new puppet to jump on demand so that Ibra can still say he’s the boss , the king and the god… What have become of our club, seriously depressing stuff . Even a blind person can see we play like sh*t
Tuchel is a junkyard bulldog. He will punish Leao and Theo with screaming and negativity—which could be what they need to finally fire on all cylinders. So that could be a plus. In the negative side, he is likely to deflate Pulisic and cause him to regress, play within himself instead of expansively, and use him out of position in a way that leads to him getting injured repeatedly. Given that Pulisic has been the one truly bright spot in the past two Mercatos, on balance I do not think Tuchel is a wise gamble for this club to take.
Tuchel isn’t stupid, Pulisic is our one shining light…he will use him properly.
Completely agree with comments regarding Pulisic. If Tuchel comes in, sell Pulisic high in January.
I wonder if top coaches have an interest in joining this mess, working under this management to become the next scapegoat.
According to Cardinale and his crony’s: we don’t need a top coach. https://sempremilan.com/ml-why-milan-fonseca-over-top-level-coach
That aged well didn’t it…….😂😂
😂
Put a professional chef on my kitchen, he would still be able to produce a quality dish. Put me in their kitchen, and best I could do is probably ham and cheese sandwich. Hopefully, lesson learned. Hard.
We are too much of a lure to turn down buddy. Despite the Redbird mess, Milan is Milan and always will be.
Milan is awesome lately, milan make great news and drama. This will make milan famous although trophyless.
Fan will sad and depress, but milan management don’t care about trophy, they care about profit.
Theyve spend as much as oher serie teama have the la se t 2 seasons
yes, get Tuchel and at the same time get rid of Ibra and his sons. the current situation is also not good for the academy, no matter if Max scores or not.
No!
Get rid of Ibra and keep his sons as long as they are good enough to score goals and perform well.
If Max is doing well, we keep him.
Yes to Tuchel!
The thing is he will need time. This season will be a learning curve for the players to learn how to play football and also what is really required to become the best! (Leao)
Looking at current management, I won’t be surprised if next coach is Ted Lasso.
😂
Tuchel is a phenomenal opportunity. Zidane emails my first choice hit that won’t happen for a number of reasons I don’t think.
However I don’t think Tuchel will be a fit for Redbird who don’t want a coach with ideas on players and real football
Remains…not emails…I don’t know him that well 😂
Tuchel is the best among all the options. Please hire him, he is the solution to our problem.
Tuchel hhh Fonseca is better
Not really a fan of tuchel but he is a competent coach with clear ideas
Terzic or Tuchel would be great, but, I still think that Fonseca needs time to work on this team, as would any replacement. He wasn’t the fans’ choice, but, since the management picked him, regardless of what the fans felt about him, they should allow him to see out his contract. He may still come good.
First and foremost we got to get rid of thay clown god Zlatan.
