Paulo Fonseca stole the headlines once again this weekend, and it was due to his explosive review of the officiating of AC Milan vs. Atalanta.
Since joining Milan in the summer, Fonseca has rarely been fully supported by the fans, with few understanding the decision to hire him, and others losing faith after several poor performances by the Rossoneri this season.
Against Atalanta, there was another reason to lose faith in the head coach, as the Diavolo now face a near impossible task if they want to win the Scudetto. However, the coach did not take fault for the loss, instead looking to the officiating, which some criticised.
Before speaking to the media, the Portuguese made the management aware that he was going to slate the officials, and the club did not stop him from making the comments, and Calciomercato.com writes that the club are actually in support of his words.
‘Without ifs and buts’ the Diavolo stand with their manager, believing that Federico La Penna made an error by not giving a foul against Charles De Ketelaere for the hosts first goal of the evening. With this news also comes the information that the club stand with Fonseca generally, at least they do for now.
After Roma, you have only 1 club with worst result in season – AcMilan.
And soon Roma is going over Milan
When it comes to predictions, I am usually not bad, but hardly great. There are two things I said back in June. 1) This guy will do a horrible job and 2) the clowns won’t fire him, because they will have to play three salaries. People hoping we’ll get a better coach this season are simply naive. We won’t, Portugese Giampaolo will finish the season.
Now,we pay just Fonseca , Pioli is far far away… rather pay this “symbolic” payment to him and take another, who bring something important
Weren’t the refs that got Milan to 7th place. Not sure what Fonseca is huffing and puffing about. And milan management just standing by this mediocrity.
Pulisic came to Milan in order to play in the European Champions competition. No European competition, no Pulisic.
