After the international break, the league resumes next weekend, and the following week will also mark the start of European competitions. Milan, after a disappointing start to Serie A with just two points from three matches, needs to quickly change course; otherwise, Paulo Fonseca’s position risks becoming completely compromised.
Three decisive games for Fonseca and Milan…
According to Tuttosport this morning, the Rossoneri coach’s future on the Rossoneri bench will be decided in the next three games: Venezia, Liverpool, and Inter. The start has been negative, making the Portuguese coach the worst debutant on Milan’s bench in the last 40 years; no one had ever collected just two points without a single win. A turnaround is needed immediately, starting with Venezia, a match that Milan must win at all costs. After that, Liverpool and Inter will give a clear indication of Fonseca’s future.
Some names already rumoured to replace Fonseca at Milanello.
Additionally, rumors are beginning to swirl around the Portuguese coach, as several top-tier managers currently without a team are being mentioned: from Massimiliano Allegri to Maurizio Sarri, with Thomas Tuchel and Sergio Conceição also in the mix. Conceição, in fact, was considered during the summer before the Rossoneri club decided to go with Paulo Fonseca.
