Milan Futuro’s winless streak in Serie C was extended to six games this afternoon as Ternana prevailed 3-0. Seeing as Ignazio Abate is the manager of the team, it’s a defeat that hurts a little extra for the Rossoneri.
Abate was the manager of Milan’s Primavera last season and opted to leave as his contract expired. Milan, at that point, had already chosen Daniele Bonera for the Futuro side and Abate thus signed a contract with Serie C ‘rivals’ Ternana instead.
There was some tension between Abate and Milan after the departure, as we discussed at great length on our Substack, but it’s now water under the bridge. That being said, today’s 3-0 defeat against Ternana hurt a bit extra for Milan Futuro.
It was a well-deserved win for the home side, who are second in the league table, but mistakes at the back made things very easy for them today. On the second goal, for example, Damir Zukic gave the ball away to the striker who just slotted it home.
Albeit with a game in hand, Daniele Bonera’s boys are now second-to-last in the standings with just 12 points after 16 games. Something needs to change, quick as well, otherwise Milan Futuro could be relegated at the end of the season.
Milan Futuro’s XI for the game (3-4-1-2): Raveyre; Zukic, Minotti, Coubis; Jimenez, Malaspina, Stalmach, Bartesaghi; Vos; Sia, Longo.
Bonera out. Shit coach
C’mon…just fire this incompetent Bonera. These young boys needs an experienced and navigated Serie B and C coach, two new Serie C level experienced central defenders and one prolific Serie C level striker. Otherwise we will be relegated to division D. Disaster
And the incompetent Ibra too who hired Bonera and forced Abate out.
Bonera you su.k
All hail the Abate
Watching him leave, especially after hearing it was partially because he refused to play Zlatans kid over Camarda, is infuriating…
This is actually a huge problem.
5 points behind safety where SPAL has a game in hand.
Relegation is a very real possibility.
Almost like we should have kept him… I would Genuinely give him a shot til end of season if we binned Fonseca, he at the very least cares enough about the club to fight for the best result he can
Looking probable that the million-dollar Futuro project will be over after just one year.
