Some rather surprising news has emerged a couple of days out from the game against Monza regarding Paulo Fonseca and the lack of a press conference.
It was presumed that there would be the usual pre-match press conference on the eve of the game, which would be tomorrow, at Milanello. Normally they take place after the training session, so at 14:30 CET.
However, MilanNews are now reporting that no media activities are planned prior to the match, therefore Fonseca’s pre-match press conference will not take place tomorrow and he will not answer questions from journalists as usual.
It must be remarked that at certain times under Stefano Pioli when there was an important Champions League game coming up (Real Madrid is next Tuesday night) he would sometimes forego a press conference before the next league game and speak to Milan TV instead.
However, it is the first presser that Fonseca will miss since being hired in the summer and it will certainly fuel speculation that not all is rosy at the club.
In fact, a report from Calciomercato.com suggested that he only has a few games to turn things around, otherwise his job might not be safe beyond the November international break.
