Gerry Cardinale and Milan directors met Paulo Fonseca on Monday, and La Gazzetta dello Sport revealed how the Portuguese explained the poor results of the opening two rounds.
Milan only have one point after two Serie A games, and pressure is already mounting on new coach Fonseca.
However, club owner Cardinale wanted to show his support to the Portuguese on Monday when he met him and club directors at Milanello.
Gazzetta reports that Cardinale met Fonseca, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Giorgio Furlani and Geoffrey Moncada for lunch at Milan’s training ground.
How Fonseca explained Milan poor results to Cardinale and club directors – report
Fonseca explained what he had already told the press after games against Torino and Parma.
The Portuguese is convinced that it still takes time to absorb a new playing style and bring all players to the same fitness level.
For this reason, Theo Hernandez started on the bench against Torino, while Emerson Royal and Youssouf Fofana recently joined the team. Alvaro Morata is already injured.
Gazzetta insists that Fonseca was ‘not looking for excuses’ and that the club would give him time to implement his idea.
However, club directors also expect different results and attitudes in the following games, starting with Saturday’s away match at Lazio.
This will be a huge one, none of the two clubs can afford to drop points so it eill be electric. I might fly to Rome if the plane tickets drop a bit before Saturday, at this time they are around £100 (one way only) so let’s see. Anyway Forza Lazio 🩵🤍🦅
Give him time its a new squad but if he doesn’t improve then you need to get a manager who is a proven winner
FYI, Allegri is available.
IF he is already having to explain himself after only two games, then it basically means his days are numbered. Better to get rid now than wait until October. The problem is that it is they who have landed him in this mess. It is the American and his useless minions who should pack up and sell the club.
Milan will place between 5th and 8th
That is the quality right now
5th and 8th? Milan have won ONE game across all competitions since 11th April. That’s literally relegation form.
