Bianchin: Terzic ‘not a target’ as Milan make Sarri the No.1 to replace Fonseca | OneFootball

Tuesday’s Champions League result hammered another nail in the coffin for Paulo Fonseca’s time at AC Milan, and with the Derby della Madonnina up next, fears are heightened.

Whilst Milan took the lead early on, they failed to further capitalise on this, and Liverpool showed their superiority. Before the game, there had been talk about how the sides were in similar positions, at least from a head coach perspective, but looking at the game now, this could not be further from reality.

Perhaps, there is a difference in quality. However, this is where a good coach can make the difference. Paulo Fonseca did not do this. His team were outplayed, and his players looked lost in a nonexistent tactical system. A worrying sign.

Going back to before the game, reports had suggested that the Liverpool and Inter games would be pivotal for the head coach’s chances of a future with the Rossoneri, and following the defeat – and more importantly, the manner in which it came – replacements are already being considered.

Edin Terzic – who was present at the game on Tuesday – had reportedly been among the favourites for the job, but according to a report from Luca Bianchin for Gazzetta dello Sport, he is ‘not a target’.

Instead, Bianchin states that Maurizio Sarri may be the preferred choice, elsewhere, Massimiliano Allegri and Igor Tudor could also be evaluated.
