Repubblica: ‘A marriage without passion or a future’ – Fonseca-Milan relationship heading one way

AC Milan continue to disappoint in Serie A and the media this morning are questioning how long things can keep going as they are.

This morning’s edition of La Reppublica (via MilanNews) describes Paulo Fonseca’s short spell at Milan so far as ‘a love story that never blossomed’. The Portuguese coach is ‘on the brink of a personal abyss’, because in the media he continues to get angry with players and them absolve them.

In short, instead of looking for a solution to all this, Fonseca does nothing but add fuel to the fire with his words which actually only mean that he is continuing to hurt himself, at least until there is some consistency in results.

Milan head to Verona on Friday and the situation is ‘in a perfect middle ground between desperate and serious’. If the management were to decide to sack Fonseca, he would in theory be owed the full salary of his three-year contract, unless there was a termination agreement.
