…with Filippo Maniero –

“Fonseca at risk? In Italy it’s like this. When the results don’t come, the first to pay are the coaches. If he doesn’t win today against Venezia, I don’t know how it would end”. This is what Filippo Maniero, a former Milan and Venezia player, told TuttoMercatoWeb.com.

Today it is important for Milan to get a result.
“Probably starting today it will start to be the Milan we knew again. Let’s give this coach some time.”

And Venice?
“The classic newly promoted team. It will be difficult to maintain the category but I think it is the same for Como and Parma. They will have to fight with four or five teams to avoid relegation”.

It’s an important year for Pohjanpalo.
“Last year I saw him play several times in Serie B and he made the difference. This year everything will be more difficult. But if the team plays in a certain way he can do well too”.

She’s back in football.
“From this year I’m the second to Mauro Zironelli, he asked me if I’d be available to give him a hand at Cjarlins Muzane. Let’s see how it goes… at the end of the year I’ll draw conclusions. Returning to a category like D is nice”

He has had many coaches in his career. His role model?
“Take a bit of inspiration from everyone. Then in this role as second I don’t have much say in the matter. He’s the coach, I give him a hand. His ideas are similar to mine. I think it’s right to do the apprenticeship”.

Which side is he on tonight?
“On paper, Milan is the super favorite. Between the two, I would like them to achieve their goals.”
