JAKARTA - Former head coach of the Italian national team, Roberto Mancini, could be one of the options to replace AC Milan's current manager, Paulo Fonseca, if the club breaks ties in the future.

According to Calciomercato.com reports, Mancini and Maurizio Sarri are the two most likely options to come to the San Siro if Fonseca goes at any stage this season.

Massimiliano Allegri has also been advised, but reports on Tuesday, December 17, 2024, local time, suggest he is an option that is less likely for the Rossoneri.

Mancini is the latest name to appear on the list. He has been available since leaving his post as head coach of the Saudi Arabia national team in October 2024.

Mancini has also been linked with a move to Rome to replace Claudio Ranieri. You see, Ranieri will switch to the role of Director of Rome at the end of the 2024/2025 season.

Meanwhile, AC Milan is in an uncertain position in the 2024/2025 Serie A standings. After a 0-0 draw at home against Genoa on Monday, December 16, 2024, early morning WIB, the Rossoneri are now 14 points adrift of the top of the standings and eight points from the top four after 15 matches.

Fonseca's work is not under threat in the near future according to recent reports, but Calciomercato.com claims that the situation could change if Milan fails to record a positive result against Hellas Verona on Saturday, December 21, 2024.

The atmosphere around the San Siro deteriorated after a 0-0 draw against Genoa and a slightly lucky 2-1 win over Red Star Belgrade in the Champions League on December 12, 2024. The fans began protesting against the club's management.
