Attention also to Conceiçao, already evaluated in summer

There is a lot of excitement in the Milan household. The heavy home defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League did not please anyone, including the top echelons of the club. The feeling è that trust in Fonseca is now time-bound (despite being defended to the bitter end by those who run the Diavolo). Sunday night è the Derby is scheduled, a match that could already be decisive for the Portuguese coach’s future.

In case of another defeat, here is where Fonseca’s position would become very complicated. The coach, in the post-match with the Reds, reiterated that he wants to continue with his ideas of play, "… the ones that brought me all the way to Milan". Whether these ideas work with this squad remains to be seen. Should they jump, Milan would have a'wide range of names from which to choose a new coach.

Two, in particular, would be quite highly rated, namely Sarri and Conceiçao. The former has declared recently that he wants to return to the bench as soon as possible. After coaching Juventus, it would be a dream to lead Milan. Pay attention also to the name of Conceiçao, a technician already evaluated by the Diavolo during the last summer.

In reality, there would be many other coaches currently free, starting with Allegri (for him it would be a return to Milan, already coached from 2010 to 2014. Then there are moreù imaginative hypotheses such as those that lead to Terzic and Tuchel. In short, Fonseca will have to shift gears to avoid being sidelined and replaced by someone else at the helm of the Rossoneri.
