Liverpool secured a deserved 3-1 win over AC Milan on Tuesday to open their Champions League account with three points. The Champions League’s newly-revamped format drew up two European giants together and that repeat of the 2005 and 2007 epic finals. The duo are far different teams now, with Liverpool losing their first match under Arne Slot at the weekend, but bouncing straight back at the San Siro. Life is different for Paulo Fonseca at AC Milan because his team were deservedly beaten, despite having the advantage of playing on home soil. Added to the fact that ex-Chelsea winger Christian Pulisic opened the…
A journalist has suggested that the AC Milan leadership are already thinking about who might have to come in and replace Paulo Fonseca, and that contacts with Max Allegri are underway. The Milan players were jeered quite heavily on Tuesday night as they went to thank the Curva Sud for their support after the 3-1 defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League, and that was a sign of the current mood surrounding the team. There were only 60,000 fans present anyway due to a combination of ticket prices and a poor start to the season, but those who stayed until the very end of…
There continues to be rumblings regarding the idea that AC Milan are preparing for the idea of potentially having to sack Paulo Fonseca, and a report claims that Zlatan Ibrahimovic has met with Edin Terzic. Last night’s 3-1 defeat against Liverpool has sparked a lot of talk in the media about Fonseca’s position being unsafe, not because of the level of opponent that Milan lost to – given Liverpool are among the best sides in Europe on their day – but rather the manner of the defeat and the fact it continued a bad start. According to MilanNews, there…
It hasn’t taken long for AC Milan to second guess their own decision to hire Paulo Fonseca, who replaced Stefano Pioli despite coming in with zero major league titles whereas Pioli did win Serie A a couple of years ago. After four matches in the league, Milan are in the middle of the table, while they just came off an embarrassing performance in the Champions League against another traditional power of the competition, Liverpool. Milan seemed to be on the rise under Pioli, but, now, they risk falling flat on their faces after front office mismanagement. Fonseca is a…
With poor results in Serie A mounting and now a 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, AC Milan could make a drastic move at coach and rectify their controversial decision to hire Paulo Fonseca as the replacement for Stefano Pioli. If Milan were looking to hire a coach to take them to the next level from Pioli, who won Serie A and reached the Champions League semifinal a season later, then Fonseca wasn’t it. Now, Milan are trying to find an elite option to recover the squad’s chances, and they could be turning to an intriguing name…
AC Milan lost 3-1 to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, marking the latest humiliation suffered by the Rossoneri in the 2024/25 season since hiring Paulo Fonseca to replace Stefano Pioli. The move by RedBird Capital to fire Pioli, who won the Scudetto in 2021/22, and replace him with Fonseca, who flopped at Roma, was met by raised eyebrows from many Milan fans and even club legends. Fonseca has Milan 10th in the table in Serie A after four games, and after this latest defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League, the calls for the former Lille coach’s job…
Former AC Milan striker Zlatan Ibrahimović discussed the executive role he holds at the Italian club before their Champions League defeat to Liverpool on Tuesday, saying “the others work for me.” Milan’s owners, RedBird Capital, announced in December 2023 that Ibrahimović had joined as an operating partner with the remit of being a senior advisor to the club. The Sweden great announced his retirement from football at the end of the 2022-23 season after stints with Milan, Ajax, Juventus, Inter Milan, Paris Saint-Germain, Manchester United, Barcelona and LA Galaxy. Asked by Sky Sport to clarify his role, Ibrahimović, 42,…
AC Milan did not start their Champions League campaign in the right way at San Siro as they were beaten 3-1 by Liverpool on Tuesday night, and several players have been criticised. Things were going really well three minutes in when Christian Pulisic hammered in a low shot to give Milan the lead, but Konate and Van Dijk scored headers from set pieces to put Liverpool in front, then Szoboszlai’s second-half goal killed the game off. La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below) has their ratings from the game, starting with the overall performance from the team which got a…
Liverpool’s win over AC Milan yesterday in the Champions League was pretty convincing, despite the Rossoneri’s strong start. The Reds should have perhaps scored more than three goals and it was a bit of a let-off for Milan that they didn’t, especially with the club struggling to impress this season under Paulo Fonseca. This has led to the fans and the Italian media questioning not just Fonseca, but also those above him at the Rossoneri. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is currently a senior advisor at the club, is in the line of fire. Before the game at San Siro…
In the aftermath of AC Milan’s disappointing 3-1 defeat to Liverpool in their Champions League opener, the club’s leadership held an important meeting at San Siro to discuss the team’s future, particularly that of manager Paulo Fonseca. Calciomercato report how the meeting, which took place in the bowels of the stadium, involved Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Sporting Director Geoffrey Moncada, and CEO Giorgio Furlani. The loss to Liverpool has reignited the crisis within the Rossoneri camp, which had only briefly been quelled by their 4-0 victory over Venezia. San Siro echoed with boos and chants of discontent as the team appeared to…
