Mancini and Sarri among candidates for Milan head coach role

Milan’s struggles under Paulo Fonseca continue, as inconsistent and mediocre results fuel speculation about the Portuguese coach's dismissal and potential successors.

Details: According to reports from Calciomercato.com, Roberto Mancini and Maurizio Sarri are the most likely candidates to take over at San Siro if Fonseca leaves at any stage of the season.

Massimiliano Allegri is also under consideration by the Rossoneri's management; however, he appears to be a less likely option at this stage.

Reports suggest Fonseca is not under immediate threat, but the situation could change quickly if Milan fails to secure a positive result against Verona on Friday.

Reminder: Milan finds itself in a precarious position in the Serie A standings. Following a goalless home draw with Genoa on Sunday, the team is now 14 points behind the top of the table and eight points off the top four after 15 rounds.

Earlier, we reported that Milan is set to extend the contract of first-choice goalkeeper Mike Maignan.
