Recent reports suggest Paulo Fonseca was not Milan’s first choice to replace former coach Stefano Pioli at the end of the 2023-24 campaign, and now the Portuguese is at risk of losing his job just five games into his Rossoneri career. According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto in his Caught Offside Daily Briefing column, Milan had other ideas in mind before appointing Fonseca on a three-year contract in mid-June. Though he may not have been the club’s first choice, the Rossoneri proceeded with Fonseca, and brought in the likes of Alvaro Morata, Strahinja Pavlovic, Youssouf Fofana and Emerson Royal. Now, with…
AC Milan’s biggest game of the season takes place on Sunday with them facing Inter in a game which could decide the fate of the head coach and their season as a whole. Paulo Fonseca is already in a very difficult position where his job is insecure if it even is his job anymore. Throughout the week, it has been suggested that the Inter game would decide his fate but since Tuesday there have been suggestions that a decision has already been made. With his position not guaranteed, a report has suggested that he will play the derby in his style,…
Ben Sulayem said ahead of this weekend’s Singapore Grand Prix that he is trying to make changes, so there is less bad language broadcast by FOM (Formula One Management), who have control over the world feed for all F1 sessions. The FIA President told Autosport: “I mean, we have to differentiate between our sport – motorsport – and rap music. “We’re not rappers, you know. They say the F-word how many times per minute? We are not on that. That’s them and we are [us].” Hamilton said he understood Ben Sulayem’s concerns over excessive swearing but there was a “racial element”…
Could Max Verstappen leave Red Bull for Aston Martin in 2025? Rumours surrounding Max Verstappen’s future in Formula One have taken a surprising turn as speculation mounts that the Dutchman could part company with Red Bull and join Aston Martin. With Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll having recently hired design mastermind Adrian Newey, known for his innovations at Red Bull, some believe the move could be part of a wider strategy to lure Verstappen to the British outfit.

Roma ultras have announced they will stage a protest against the decision to sack coach Daniele De Rossi, boycotting Ivan Juric’s debut. The Eternal City was shaken by the surprise news that club icon De Rossi had been fired, just four games into the new season and more crucially only weeks after he had signed a new contract extension to June 2027. He has been replaced by former Torino and Genoa boss Juric, who is set to make his debut at the Stadio Olimpico against shock Serie A leaders Udinese this weekend. However, the atmosphere will be very different to usual, because the Curva Sud will be empty…
Ahead of the Derby della Madonnina, Inter and AC Milan are entering the game in completely different spirits. In an ideal world, at full-time the spirits would be flipped, but it is difficult to imagine for Rossoneri fans. Despite the 4-0 thrashing of Venezia last weekend, things could not be worse for Milan. There is no semblance of positivity surrounding the club, and it seems that things are near a breaking point for the manager. As reports suggest, a decision is expected shortly about Fonseca’s future, and one could arrive before the game against Inter with reports suggesting Ibrahimovic holds all the cards,…
Liverpool should keep Cody Gakpo in its forward line this weekend against Bournemouth but bring Darwin Nunez alongside him. Those are the thoughts of Paul Merson, who is backing Arne Slot’s men to bounce back from last Saturday’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. “But Liverpool are fortunate since Manchester City and Arsenal play each other this weekend. The Reds can gain on these two teams with a win over Bournemouth. In that regard, the loss to Nottingham Forest may not affect them as badly as we think.” Heading into the weekend of fixtures, only Manchester City, Arsenal and Newcastle are ahead…
After sacking Daniele De Rossi and hiring Ivan Juric in a rapid turnaround on Wednesday, Roma are likely to switch to a new system for their upcoming Serie A and Europa League fixtures. Here is how the Giallorossi could line up under the former Torino boss. In his final game in charge, De Rossi had already begun to shift to a formation closer to Juric’s preferred system. Though he often played a form of 4-3-3, DDR deployed a back three in the 1-1 draw with Genoa prior to his dismissal. Unsurprisingly, Juric will likely look to deploy either a 3-4-2-1 or 3-4-1-2…
AC Milan may have to make a bold decision in the upcoming days about the future of Paulo Fonseca, but this could bring a worrying issue – a ‘power war’ in the Rossoneri’s management. With everything going on at Milan currently, there are things much less needed than a power war, but it seems that could be on the cards for the Rossoneri, according to a report from Repubblica (via Calciomercato.com). The report suggests that there is an internal divide in the management, with none of them in agreement about who comes in to replace Fonseca if a decision…
AC Milan find themselves in an unexpected crisis just weeks into the new season, with manager Paulo Fonseca’s position hanging by a thread. The Portuguese coach has one last chance to save his job: winning the upcoming Milan derby. However, behind the scenes, the club is already exploring potential replacements. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, now a key figure in Milan’s management, has reportedly spoken at length with Fonseca. Despite this show of support, the club has been making indirect contact with potential successors. Calciomercato report that while there is no clear frontrunner at this stage, several names have emerged as…
