Things are not going too well for Paulo Fonseca at Milan.
After just three games, it’s time to make a strong, decisive decision. It can't be postponed. Fonseca can’t remain the coach of a team that has lost trust. More than that, respect, writes Calciomercato.com.
The "cooling break" scene is striking. Never seen before. The two big exclusions, Theo and Leao, standing apart by themselves after being sidelined by the coach. In plain sight. Without hiding anything. On the contrary, it highlighted the clear disconnect with the technical staff.
The result might put a band-aid on the situation, but the wound remains open at Milanello...
It's up to the club to choose and decide what to do. Ignoring it is not an option. Theo and Leao were irritating last week in Parma, it’s true. But they needed to be recovered, because otherwise, this Milan risks not even reaching the Champions League spots.
What's at stake are the team's prospects and technical assets: Is Fonseca in a position to guarantee all of this? It’s up to the club to answer. But if the answer is yes, it needs to be decisive and authoritative.
With respect for the roles and values. In short, the foundations for a lasting and genuine peace need to be created. Otherwise, it won't just be Fonseca who ends up badly (sooner or later), but all of Milan (sooner rather than later).
