CM: Mancini joins Allegri and Sarri as potential Fonseca replacement ideas | OneFootball

Whilst Paulo Fonseca is not yet at risk, AC Milan are making considerations about which coaches could be contacted if things were to change, and there is a new addition to the list.

Since Stefano Pioli’s position became under fire, there have been the same few names linked to the Milan bench and whilst some are now impossible due to them taking new jobs, a few ideas remain.

Those at the top of the list are Massimiliano Allegri and Maurizio Sarri, who have both been heavily considered since Pioli was sacked and with Fonseca experiencing difficult times, they have regularly been mentioned by reports.

Today though, a new name, or better yet idea, has entered the mix, according to Calciomercato.com reports. The new name is Roberto Mancini, who left his job as the head coach of Saudi Arabia at the tail end of October.

His name was linked to the Roma job in recent weeks, and the report suggests that he is growing impatient to find a new ‘challenge’.

RedBird, as the report suggests, would consider him as a report to an ’emergency solution’ if Fonseca were to be sacked, which supports claims that the Portuguese head coach is not in a position to be sacked yet, only if things got much worse. However, whether Mancini would be the right option to help the side in that situation is debatable.
