The draw against Genoa has pushed Paulo Fonseca’s position as the head coach of AC Milan into doubt, according to a report.
As Calciomercato.com report, it was supposed to be a night of celebration against Genoa with 125 years of history being marked by many festivities. Yet, Milan failed to score from over 20 shots on goal, and jeers erupted at the final whistle.
It was breaking point for a lot of fans including the Curva Sud, who chanted against the ownership and displayed several banners making it clear that they are unhappy with the way that things are going.
Yet, while the fans protested outside gate 14, the Portuguese coach was speaking to the TV cameras and telling them he was satisfied with the team’s attitude and performance. It was in contrast to the win over Red Star, after which he tore into the squad.
Football is a results business above all, and Milan were overtaken by Bologna who are now in seventh, while there is now an eight-point gap to fourth place in the standings occupied by Fiorentina. Even the minimum objective of qualifying for next season’s Champions League seems to be slipping away.
The responsibilities for this very negative moment for Milan in the league must be shared between all the components. The coach is often the first to fall though, and a negative result in the away match on Friday at the Bentegodi against Verona would call his job into question.
