Paulo Fonseca led AC Milan on a fantastic pre-season tour of America, but so far, these performances have not translated to Serie A with a loss and a draw so far.
Everything positive about pre-season has seemingly disappeared. Tactically, Milan looked like a completely different squad in many aspects. From the press to possession, there was conviction in their play. Yet in Serie A, this cannot be said.
The Rossoneri lacked any signs of anything promising in their two opening fixtures and often looked lost – something which also translated into Paulo Fonseca’s press conferences according to a report. Following this, questions are being asked.
Rafael Leao and Theo Hernandez have not shown themselves properly, and they are not the only players to struggle in this new system. With this in mind, this weekend, there must be changes.
It is a worrying position to be in, when after two games questions are being asked of the manager, but a report from this morning suggested that conversations are taking place about the possibility of Massimiliano Allegri residing on the Diavolo’s bench.
Similar suggestions are being made by Corriere della Sera (via Milan News), and they write that there are calls for the former Juventus manager, or perhaps even Stefano Pioli. So far, Fonseca has not delivered on expectations, and whilst there is time to change this, things must change very quickly.
