Milan once again finds itself in a position where there is no room for error, neither for the club nor its coach Paulo Fonseca, who faces a pivotal test in Verona that could determine a significant portion of his future on the Rossoneri bench.
Fatal Hellas Verona?
The Rossoneri head coach would be wise to keep his eyes wide open and watch his back against Zanetti's Verona, a team that could turn "fatal." Should Milan fail to secure a win against the Scaligeri, whether it ends in defeat or a draw, it won’t be brushed aside as previous results have been.
However, despite this, Ibrahimovic and Furlani are reportedly inclined to extend their trust in the Portuguese coach, as reported this morning by Il Corriere dello Sport.
This situation mirrors what happened last year, around the same period, with Stefano Pioli, a precedent that should not be underestimated. In the final away game of 2023, a struggling Milan drew 2-2 against Salernitana, then bottom of the table. Despite the disappointing result and an even worse standing in the league compared to now, the ownership decided to stick with the coach.

Who’s to say they won’t take the same approach with Fonseca?
Meanwhile, there are news about Milan from Spain. What is the latest update?
In fact, the specter of Xavi Hernandez, the former coach and legend of Barcelona, is beginning to loom over the Portuguese's position. According to the Spanish outlet El Nacional, talks between the Rossoneri club and the Spaniard are reportedly at an advanced stage. However, this is a path that could only be pursued starting next season, not during the current campaign.
