There continues to be rumblings regarding the idea that AC Milan are preparing for the idea of potentially having to sack Paulo Fonseca, and a report claims that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has met with Edin Terzic.
Last night’s 3-1 defeat against Liverpool has sparked a lot of talk in the media about Fonseca’s position being unsafe, not because of the level of opponent that Milan lost to – given Liverpool are among the best sides in Europe on their day – but rather the manner of the defeat and the fact it continued a bad start.
According to MilanNews, there was a conversation this morning between Ibrahimovic – the Senior Advisor of RedBird for AC Milan – and the entourage of Terzic, who left as the Borussia Dortmund coach at the end of last season.
Terzic’s stock rose when he reached the final of last year’s Champions League before losing against Real Madrid at Wembley, and the meeting today shows he would be among the first options for the Rossoneri management in the event of Fonseca’s dismissal.
Sunday’s derby, in this sense, will be more decisive than ever for Fonseca, a remarkable situation considering it will be just his sixth game in charge and he only began working with the squad in July.
