If Paulo Fonseca is unsuccessful on Sunday, it is difficult to see him managing AC Milan’s next fixture. However, there are suggestions that somebody else’s shadow is already present on his bench.
As positive as pre-season was, there has been no continuance of the football on display. Within a month, Milan have gone from a team that could press, pass, and generally play well, to a team that struggles to do all of the above.
Above all, the Rossoneri look lost under Fonseca’s tactics and there are doubts in place about his ability to change the squad’s tune. To his credit, the Portuguese coach has stated that he knows this, but knowing about things and fixing them are two completely different problems.
One of the managers being considered is Edin Terzic, and the former Borussia Dortmund coach was present for Milan’s loss against Liverpool. With this in mind, Quotidiano Sportive (via Milan News) have reported that his shadow is already present on the bench at San Siro, and contacts have already begun to take place.
There is also the added pressure of him knowing his job is on the line, and against Inter, he must get things spot on if he is to have a chance of keeping his job past Sunday with the Diavolo already evaluating replacements.
