AC Milan’s start to the 2024/25 Serie A season has been far from ideal, raising concerns within the club. Under the management of Paulo Fonseca, the team has yet to secure a victory, managing only two points from their first three matches. The most recent draw against Lazio, ending 2-2, highlighted ongoing defensive struggles, with Milan conceding six goals in these early games.
Adding to the tension, an incident during the cooling break in the Lazio match involved key players Theo Hernandez and Rafael Leao. Both were absent from a team huddle led by Fonseca, sparking speculation about internal discord. Although the club chose not to discipline the players, the situation underscored the challenges facing the team.
Calciomercato report how as the international break provides a brief respite, Milan prepare for a critical series of matches that could determine Fonseca’s future. The team will face Venezia in Serie A, followed by a Champions League debut against Liverpool, and then a high-stakes derby against Inter Milan. These matches, all at San Siro, are seen as pivotal for both the team’s season and Fonseca’s tenure.
While there is currently no plan to replace the manager, the club’s leadership will reassess Fonseca’s position based on the outcomes of these crucial fixtures. This period could mark a significant turning point for Milan as they seek to stabilize and improve their performance.
