Conte is far away and it seems complicated even to get to Lopetegui: AC Milan is now thinking about former Roma man Paulo Fonseca, currently at Lille.
Journalist Paolo Bargiggia spoke to TvPlay’s microphones to talk about Napoli’s bad season and Stefano Pioli’s possible heir on the AC Milan bench: according to the journalist, the most quoted at the moment is Fonseca. The former Porto and Braga, was from 2019 to 2021 on the Roma bench, but he did not leave a very good memory of himself in the Giallorossi.
In his first year at Roma, Fonseca finished fifth in the league standings, exiting in the round of 16 in the Europa League at the hands of Sevilla and in the quarterfinals in the Coppa Italia, eliminated by Juventus. The following year the coach argued with Dzeko, was eliminated from the Coppa Italia for making six substitutions instead of five, and finished seventh in the Serie A standings.
“Napoli’s performance is out of all logic,” the interviewee commented, regarding the Azzurri’s defeat against Empoli. “Every intervention by De Laurentiis has made the situation worse. We went from Garcia, who perhaps could no longer stay at Napoli because of the bad relationship with the players, to Mazzarri. And now there is Calzona. The Napoli players do not go on the field quietly. Blame De Laurentiis who makes himself the protagonist of theatrics.”
For Bargiggia, Aurelio De Laurentiis reveals with each of his releases the substantial weakness of the club. “The situation is destabilized in relations and all this is reflected in the team’s performance, beyond the demerits of individuals and various coaches. “
For Milan, Fonseca is being evaluated: “Sergio Conceicao second choice “
For journalist Conte will not go to Napoli. “Italian ended up off De Laurentiis’ radar. The primary target is Pioli, then Gasperini likes him, but it will not be easy to wrest him from Atalanta.” For the Milan bench, however, the name of Fonseca is popping up. “Lopetegui is in negotiations with West Ham, so the Spaniard is not at the top of the list. Right now in contention is Fonseca, more defiled is Sergio Conceicao. “
“Inzaghi has always said that he stays at Inter and the club has always reiterated confidence in him,” the interviewee added. “I have no feedback on his possible farewell at the end of the season. The derby will see Milan in a disarmed condition. I find it hard to believe in a pride reaction after what happened with Roma in the Europa League. This year the Rossoneri have failed all the decisive appointments: Champions, Coppa Italia, Europa League.”
Finally, Bargiggia spoke about Cannavaro’s arrival at Udinese. “The Friulani are at great risk. They are one step away from relegation. I, however, did not understand why they did not move the recovery. I’m with Roma, I don’t understand why the league decided this way. “
