“Milan’s Future Hangs in the Balance: Fonseca’s Fate Rests on Upcoming Matches”
Milan tied 2-2 with Lazio in an away game before the break, which is not a bad outcome on its own. However, it came after a 2-1 loss to Parma and a 2-2 draw against Torino, resulting in only two points from three games at the start of the new era. With six goals allowed and a five-point deficit already emerging with Inter and Juventus, Fonseca understands the need to improve quickly.
Sky has even reported that the outcome of the next three games will be crucial in maintaining the trust of the management. Pedulla addressed Fonseca’s future in a segment for Sportitalia (via MilanNews) and intensified the pressure by indicating that the Champions League match and the derby will serve as a pivotal moment.
“If the matches against Liverpool and Inter don’t go well, I believe they will replace the coach. I would be shocked if this club, If Fonseca were to make errors in two more games following the initial three, without considering how to prevent jeopardizing the entire season,” he stated. “So, we’ll have to wait and see, perhaps Milan will defeat Liverpool and emerge victorious in the derby… However, it appears to be an earlier turning point compared to what was initially seen as a celebration of a transfer market and strategies tailored specifically for Fonseca.”
