Launched into a new season, some coaches will not survive the summer. This is the case of Daniele De Rossi. Yesterday, AS Roma took everyone by surprise by announcing the departure of the former player of the house, who arrived on the bench of the Louve last January to replace José Mourinho. Paulo Fonseca, for his part, could have even less time than his Italian counterpart. Dredged by several teams in recent months, including Olympique de Marseille, the Portuguese finally left LOSC to join AC Milan. A new step forward in the career of the 51-year-old technician. But his first steps in Lombardy are far from unanimous.
Despite a lively transfer window, which allowed the arrivals of Strahinja Pavlović, Youssouf Fofana, Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham, Emerson Royal and Álex Jiménez, his team is only in tenth position after 4 Serie A matches. Indeed, it has a record of 1 win, 2 draws and 1 defeat (5 points). Beyond the results, which are far from living up to the expectations of the club and the supporters, the game offered by the Rossoneri is not necessarily very exciting. The team’s behavior has also been singled out by the fans, who have already had a rant. In the hot seat, Fonseca hoped to revive the Milanese machine on Tuesday evening during the first matchday of the UEFA Champions League. But the Lombards lost 3 to 1 at home to Liverpool.
Several well-known coaches are targeted
Which plunges the Italian team a little deeper into crisis. And in these cases, the coach is often the first fuse to blow. Thus, three months after having settled in Milan, the former LOSC coach is more threatened than ever. Yesterday, the transalpine sports press revealed that the Rossoneri management had started to look into the succession of Paulo Fonseca. According to Sky ItalyZlatan Ibrahimović is said to have made contact with Edin Terzić. A Champions League finalist with Borussia Dortmund last year, he has the advantage of being free and having experience. According to some reports, the German, who is interested in the position, was even present in the stands for the match against the Reds.
He is not the only one to have caught the eye of Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the Milanese sports management. The names of Igor Tudor and Thomas Tuchel, on the market after his departure from Bayern Munich, are mentioned. For its part, the Sports Gazette reveals that Maurizio Sarri, who knows Serie A perfectly, is the priority of the Lombard club. For his part, The Corriere della Sera adds the name of Massimiliano Allegri to those of Sarri and Terzic. The Italian publication also assures that a defeat in the “Derby della Madonnina” would definitively seal Fonseca’s fate. We should therefore know more on Sunday evening after the match against Inter!
