The Derby della Madonnina between AC Milan and Inter will kick off in a few hours and for Paulo Fonseca, it’s a crucial game. Without a win, as a report claims, he will almost certainly be sacked and one manager is in pole position to replace him.
Despite some optimism in the pre-season, with Milan showing a new side to their game, the start of the season has been very disappointing, to say the least. The Rossoneri have clinched just one win in five games and Fonseca is now under heavy scrutiny.
As reported by Gazzetta dello Sport today, Milan are looking at potential replacements as a defeat tonight would make Fonseca’s exit almost a given. Maurizio Sarri is in pole position for the job while Igor Tudor and Max Allegri are close seconds, with the Rossoneri expected to go with a manager that knows Serie A.
It’s not the first time that Sarri has been linked with the club as he even was an option to replace Stefano Pioli. We were first to reveal Milan’s interest back in January, published on our Substack, and they haven’t taken him off their radar since.
Certainly, after giving the foreign option a go, it seems very likely that the new manager will be Italian (or at least experienced in Serie A).
Again, the last time we won something with a non Italian coach is dated back to 1978/1979 season.
What has nationality got to do with it. In that same timeline how many Italian coaches has taken that seat?
Give an average coach quality players and they will get the job done.
Technicality. But seems you have no clue about football
I guess Italian teams struggling against English clubs speaks to your technicality.
It is simple, the better squad players you have, the higher your odds of winning. One offs can happen. I guess have no clue how talent works.
Sarri it is not an option!
An energetic coach like DeZerbi is required !
Yes yes yes…music to my ears. Let’s get Sarri on board…
I actually like the more I though the idea of our team shifting to 4-4-2… Sergio is expert in this formation and could be the best choice…
We lack midfielders for 3 men midfield formation, in this new version Reijnders, Fofana take the charge with Musah and Zeroli as cover (sell RLC and Bennacer and raise 50-75M. Hope Pioli bring the release clause money from Saudi). Okafor will be Morata sub in this version and Tammy has Jovic until summer. Also, I would try using Liberalli and Camarda more and more in those positions.
Get Kayode and Ricci, promote Traore until Saelemakers comes back in the summer same with Jovic and wait for Colombo development (3 goal participation in 5 games and already a starter). Or alternatively J.David and sell Jovic.
not the biggest fan of sarri but would take him
Whats here not to like about sarri? Plays beautiful football and has had success at every team he’s coached. Even when they didn’t give him his fair shot
Bring Pep or klopp then I’ll know if foreign coach will not win anything.
I know we won 2-1 but that doesn’t make up for all the other bad performances like 10 goals (including CL) conceded in 6 games, I think we should get sarri or conceciao or even terzic who can make us play better more consistently. But now I feel that just because we win he’s gonna stay
Incredible how happy trigger aome people are here.
No coach on earth can make instant changes to the way a team plays.
For a change this feels better. Let’s see if we can continue in this fashion.
Rossoneri hierarchy are a pompous bunch who are rendering the club ineffective.
The decision taken get wilder and more pronounced to reflect the ineptitude of those at helm.
Zlatan at the head of this project is just the last gasp disrespect to the Rossoneri familia.
Redbird capital are very shortsighted in their management.
Anyone who knows football knows to build a team takes time,if you fire him just bring back Pioli.
