Failing to win against Verona on Friday would be embarrassing for AC Milan, but it seems that a result will not be fatal for Paulo Fonseca, regardless of what happens.
There have been increasingly regular suggestions about Fonseca’s fate recently, and it should not come as a shock. This morning, there were once again suggestions that he is in a danger zone, so it would make sense for the club to be evaluating options.
Xavi Hernandez has already been suggested as a possible candidate, as has Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri, but it seems no chance will be presented, or at least not one yet.
A report from Corriere della Sera (via Milan News) questions if a game against Verona will be ‘fatal again’ with a bad result all but killing any hopes of anything this season if anyone still harboured any hopes about a European place.
A win is an ‘obligation’ in the eyes of the fans, and it should be a view shared by the management considering what is at stake.
Regardless of the result though, it seems Fonseca will not move. The message from the management is that there is calm about the situation, despite the game being a ‘watershed’ for the Portuguese. Failing to win would only split the club further, which cannot happen, but whether there would be a reaction to settle things seems unlikely at present.
COMO EN 2015 /16..GAME OVER!!!! 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🇺🇲🇸🇪🇵🇹🤮
and if he win he will be “safe” again and then he will drop points in the next 2-3 games and when he is about to get “sacked” which is false he wins a game by pure luck
When milan brought in giampaolo and it didn’t work out, the management were brave enough to step in and mak a change and it worked out for the best.
This time around I’m not saying to fire fonseca but something needed to change and I haven’t seen management so distant in my life. Cardinale doesn’t show up to games, couldn’t even make it to milans 125 year anniversary. What’s he so busy doing anyway? The management he delegates to hasn’t said a word about anything.
Are we calling this season a wash and just giving up? As days pass I grow more and more frustrated and believe they’re here to ruin this club.
From the manager, ro the 4 clowns above him, not a single one is useful or has the spine to do something properly. Not even January and the season is already a waste. Lazy incompetent fools…
Hire and fire is not always right, you must build a team first with committed players and manager. I see in Milan a team not living their potentials and hype. Sometimes they play like kindergartner and lack character. Their captain rarely rise to the occasion on and off the pitch. I see him as the next Italian model…
