Naturally, as the head coach of a struggling team, Paulo Fonseca’s future continues to be speculated about. However, it will apparently not depend on Friday’s result.
A report from Calciomercato.com yesterday claimed that a bad result against Verona at the Stadio MarcAntonio Bentegodi – the last before Christmas – could spell the end for the Portuguese. The eight-point gap to fourth is alarming, as is all the protest surrounding the club.
Correire della Sera (via MilanPress) have responded to the claims by stating that Fonseca is not at risk of being sacked on Friday after the game Hellas Verona. The club has already made this clear: they will continue with him, even in the event of a negative result.
After the match against Genoa there was an exchange of analysis of the match between the coach and the management that reiterated the strength of the squad available to the coach, in other words the belief that it is currently underperforming.
The problem highlighted is the motivation of the group, often absent in the games that do not carry the same glamour as the derby or big Champions League nights. During the debrief it was also stressed that getting a UCL spot in the league is the minimum objective for 2024-25.
