Milan will sack Fonseca in case of derby defeat – report
The Rossoneri have only won one game across all competitions this season, and the players were booed after a 3-1 Champions League home loss against Liverpool on Tuesday.
According to the report, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Geoffrey Moncada and Giorgio Furlani discussed the possible scenarios after the mid-week loss against the Reds at San Siro.
They hope Fonseca will turn things around by beating the Rossoneri city rivals, but the Portuguese will be sacked if he fails.
Milan directors and Ibra are said to be particularly worried about the lack of reaction they saw against Liverpool and the defensive fragility that emerged in the opening games of the season. Therefore, another defeat in the derby would cost Fonseca his job.
