‘There had been contacts’ – Pedulla claims Milan had given thought to hiring Sarri

Journalist Alfredo Pedulla has claimed that the AC Milan directors gave thought fairly recently to hiring Maurizio Sarri, but the idea has vanished for now.

Fonseca’s position has come under scrutiny once again, following the defeat to Atalanta and the outburst against his team after the win over Red Star. There have been debates about which manager could replace him, based on old links and new developments.

Milan have reiterated their faith in the Portuguese for the time being and currently have no intention of parting ways with him despite how strong he has been. That being said, Sarri is a name that continues to float in the Rossoneri’s orbit as a potential idea if things take a further turn.

Speaking to Sportitalia, Pedullà commented on yesterday’s statements by Fonseca, who had some very honest and harsh words for his players after the match against Red Star.

“For me, these are statements from someone who is no longer with us. It’s war. The fact that the players were not in tune with Fonseca was already clear from the incident in Rome against Lazio, which for me was very serious because it confirmed that there was no common intent,” he said (via MilanNews).

“Here it seems to me like the intervention of a journalist or a commentator. He should have said certain things to the club, he should call Furlani and Ibrahimovic and tell them these things.

“Milan have always defended him, but there was a moment not so long ago when they thought about Sarri, but then this idea didn’t go ahead even though there had been contacts that Milan will clearly deny.  The Rossoneri have always denied certain rumours.”

  1. Although allegro has won lots of trophies and titles he doesn’t fit our formation and he’s playing style is out of date, and Luis Enrique is rumored to be the next manager it’s not likely, I think the best options are sarri and conciecao I prefer conciecao because he a proven winner. But honestly we should go for Gasperini although he looks very comfortable at Atalanta he’s even come out and stated to the public that he wouldn’t mind joking us and he’s a very consistent strong minded manager

      1. Gasperini is also too attached to Atalanta and has never coached a top team, those 2 will be challenging when coming to AC Milan.

        I agree on Sergio though, Sarri is a bit washed but his experience in Serie A plus the current roster are good fit. Except he’s notorious for giving younger players significantly less playing time.

  2. Sarri is the right call. Fonseca’s is a nice dude but he just doesn’t fit this club. Sarri can work with the players we have and get more out of them given our predicament.

    He might actually be an upgrade to Pioli but not quite the level of leadership we need. Still a step up from where we are.

  3. He couldn’t restrain Kepa …how could he restrain theo,leao …

    But i like his style of football ,for players we have his 433 would be the best

  4. I can’t see Sarri putting up with our confusing management situation.

    They won’t give him what he needs and/or get out of his way.
