The stage of Paulo Fonseca At the head of Milan his hours can be numbered. The continuation of the Portuguese coach hangs by a thread after the draw achieved tonight by the ‘rossonero’ team against Roma Claudio Ranieri at San Siro (1-1) and, according to the Italian press, the board has already chosen his replacement and even reached an agreement with him.
Fonseca arrived in Milan in June in lieu of Stefano Pioli but the results, mainly in Serie A, are disappointing, as seen in eighth place, 14 points behind the leader Atalanta and 8 from the Champions zone, which it occupies after 18 days, one from the end of the first round of Italian championship.
Work saved twice
Milan must have lost faith in Fonseca, who He has twice avoided dismissal: the first in September thanks to a 1-2 victory against Inter in the derby and the second just ten days ago with another away game against Verona (0-1).
In the absence of his dismissal being completed, they will make that announcement in Italy His replacement is also Portuguese, Sergio Conceiçaowith whom Milan has come to terms. At 50 years old, he has been without a team since leaving Porto at the end of last season.
In his seven seasons in charge of the ‘dragons’, since 2017, Conceiçao has won the Primeira Liga three times, the Taça de Portugal four times, the Taça da Liga once and the Supertaça three times.
See you next week at the Super Cup
After the match against Roma, strangely the team he coached from 2019 to 2021 and where he was sent off before half-time for protesting the non-signaling of a penalty, Fonseca was asked if he hoped to coach Milan in next week in the Italian Super Cup: on Wednesday in the semi-finals they will face Juventus in Riyadh (Saudi Arabia).
“I can wait for it, I don’t have a contrary signal from the club,” Fonseca responded to DAZN’s microphones. “I have never been afraid of football matters in my life. For me it is important to have a clear conscience, to be honest with those who work with me. I am not afraid of anything. Let’s talk about the game: I think we believe enough to win it. “The goal was missed, the boys had the right attitude.”
