Ibrahimovic and Furlani are considering possible options to replace Fonseca after Sunday’s derby, the club stressed today. Sports Courier. In addition to the names of Maurizio Sarri, Edin Terzic and Thomas Tuchel, which have been in vogue for several hours now, the candidacy of Igor TudorCroatian coach, but with a very broad Italian background.
The former Lazio coach has an excellent relationship with Zlatan Ibrahimovic, as demonstrated by the last public meeting between the two (Verona-Milan on May 8, 2022), characterized by hugs, chats and smiles. He is a name to keep an eye on: his preferred formation is not the ideal one for the Rossoneri squad (3-4-2-1), but Tudor’s managerial characteristics seem to tease the Milan management.
Fonseca’s situation worsens
Fonseca showed up at Milanello with the clear idea of fielding a more solid team, but nothing has changed compared to the last two years of Pioli. Indeed: the team seems even more pierceable. And then the tactical question, starting from the midfield. If Reijnders is not suited to play with Fofana, as stated by the same post-Liverpool manager, why field them together in midfield in Rome? If Fofana is playing (not well) in a different role than the one at Monaco, why not put him in a position to perform at his best in his natural role? The same argument could be made for Loftus-Cheek, moved from the three-quarter line to the midfield, but never in the preferred position of mezzala.
