According to Italian outlet Il Corriere dello Sport, Paulo Fonseca’s job is on the line after a disappointing start to the season.
Fonseca, who joined Milan in June from Lille, has seen his side win just one of their five games across all competitions this term. The Rossoneri’s poor form has reportedly led to discontent among club directors and RedBird advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Everton have been linked with Fonseca as a potential replacement for current manager Sean Dyche, who has come under pressure following a series of defeats. Textor, a prospective Everton owner, has expressed interest in bringing in a new manager if he successfully completes the takeover.
If Fonseca is sacked by Milan, Everton could potentially acquire his services without having to pay compensation. This would make him a more attractive option for Textor and could strengthen Everton’s chances of securing a high-profile manager.
However, it remains to be seen whether Fonseca’s struggles at Milan will have a negative impact on his appeal to Textor. Despite his previous successes with Shakhtar Donetsk, Porto, and Braga, Fonseca’s recent difficulties could raise questions about his ability to manage a Premier League club.
