Milan patron Cardinale visits to show support for Fonseca | OneFootball

Milan patron Gerry Cardinale joined CEO Giorgio Furlani, Geoffrey Moncada and Zlatan Ibrahimovic at the training camp to reassure coach Paulo Fonseca today.

There were already suggestions in the media that the new coach could be in doubt after a dismal start to the season.

They clawed their way back from 2-0 down in stoppages to draw 2-2 with Torino, then lost heavily to Parma at the Stadio Tardini.

However, Cardinale made a rare visit to the Milanello training ground today in order to show support to Fonseca.

The full group of directors was present, including Furlani, Moncada and special advisor Ibrahimovic.

RedBird chief Cardinale then left with Furlani, leaving Ibrahimovic and Moncada to view the training session.

The pressure is now really on Fonseca to turn things around, starting from Saturday’s Serie A match against Lazio.

Ibrahimovic is seen as the figure who was most behind the decision to hire Fonseca during weeks of speculation on who would replace Stefano Pioli this summer.
