AC Milan hoped that life under Paulo Fonseca would be a step forward from Stefano Pioli. If that step were one towards entering a nightmare, a report claims they have taken it, with the situation becoming dangerous.
Football is analysed in two ways: the eye test and the numbers. So far this season, Milan are failing in both. Barring two standout performances, the season has been frustratingly sub-par, and the fans are left picking at scraps for signs of potential.

As Corriere dello Sport (via Pianeta Milan) write, Fonseca’s tenure has been characterised by ‘so many disappointing matches and results’, and as a result the Scudetto is already fading, despite continued efforts from the club to keep belief.
At present, the club are on ‘Europa League pace’, with the season becoming a ‘nightmare’ quickly, and the numbers only prove this.
Milan have won less than 50% of their games under Fonseca, and each win has cost €14 million after €70m of spending in the summer. It is, for many reasons, a season that never started, and this goes back to the first three games of the season.
The Diavolo lack an identity with Fonseca still yet to decide his preferred starting squad, and the ‘dominant Milan’ that was promised was nowhere to be seen against Juventus.
Whilst their destiny remains in their hands, the data is disturbing and there are similarities to Marco Giampaolo’s time at the club, which the report calls a ‘terrible suspicion’. Things must change, if they don’t the season will become a write-off, if it is not already.
Just to remember fonseca is the guy who said that emerson is much more attacking RB than calabria ,that show us how clueless coach we have
a lose against slovan and he should get sacked
I’m from Slovakia , Slovan is interesting club, but I don’t really think they has chance against us..I think in CL we are more motivated and this will be easy win 3:1…
But problems will be weekend match against Empoli , if we lose or draw again , then there must be consequences and blame will be on Fonseca again..
I’m optimistic, we has a chance to qualify to next CL , but without Fonseca..
it started with Derby victory. Giving destruction with Fonseca’s survival until now. If he lost in Derby, he probably would have changed coaches.
Things aren’t going that bad.
They really are going horribly
It’s beyond repair now under this nonseca clown all the management who made this decision should be held accountable more stronger action is needed from the curva sud because this situation is more than vile n toxic now. Look how decent Atalanta look it’s more than embarrassing now lads !!!!
Where’s that clown Zlatan as well???? WHERE ARE YOU !!!????
