“Fonseca’s Last Stand: Milan Derby Win Crucial for Job Survival”
It’s fair to say that Fonseca hasn’t had the best start at Milan, but according to reports, he has one last opportunity to turn things around – the derby. If the Portuguese coach can lead the Rossoneri to a win, he has a chance to save his job.
Whether this will be a long-term solution or just a temporary stay remains to be seen. A win over Inter would buy him time, but if he fails to build on it, the same doubts will resurface – a situation reminiscent of last year’s issues with Stefano Pioli.
As Calciomercato.com suggests, Fonseca is putting everything on the line for this game. He’s ‘playing for Milan’ and working to craft an anti-Inter lineup to secure his position.
There are three key decisions he needs to make. He must choose between Davide Calabria and Emerson Royal, and then between Matteo Gabbia and either Fikayo Tomori or Strahinja Pavlovic. In midfield, there are no uncertainties, but up front, he’s deciding between Alvaro Morata and Tammy Abraham, with Morata currently the favored option.
