Longo: Fonseca stays for now but Milan have more doubts – the situation

Paulo Fonseca was able to breathe a sigh of relief as AC Milan collected all three points in their game against Hellas Verona on Friday evening. However, as Daniele Longo reports, the faith from the management is decreasing. 

Just like the 0-0 draw against Genoa, it was a poor display by the Rossoneri and individual brilliance was needed to break the deadlock. Youssouf Fofana and Tijjani Reijnders provided that, but the rest of the game was certainly dull with an XG of just 0.84 for the Rossoneri.

According to Daniele Longo, writing for Calciomercato.com, Fonseca managed to rescue his position once again as he did with the wins against Inter and Real Madrid. However, now halfway into the season and the team looking rather dire, the management’s faith in the manager is decreasing.

It’s clear that Fonseca will have to win the game against Roma, and then go on a winning run of sorts, to really be sure of his position as the head coach of Milan. The ownership doesn’t seem to be obsessed with winning, as Longo concludes, but they are obsessed with the accounts and finishing in the top four is thus essential.

In short, Fonseca will have to turn things around in order to keep his job until the summer.
