In a dramatic turn of events, AC Milan’s decision to sack manager Paulo Fonseca has sparked outrage among the club’s passionate supporters. The Curva Sud, Milan’s most ardent fan group, along with AIMC, have issued a scathing joint statement criticizing the club’s handling of the situation.
The fans expressed their disbelief and disappointment at the manner in which Fonseca’s dismissal was carried out:
“Last night, we witnessed a situation that unfolded in a manner that can only be described as surreal, in some ways incredible, and certainly unacceptable for the prestige and history of our glorious colours.
By this, we are not referring to the dismissal of the coach, which, although easily imaginable, will be neither the first nor the last. What leaves us bewildered and stunned are the methods by which this occurred: how can it be accepted that the manager himself communicates to the media that he has been fired, without the club issuing an official statement, or better yet, without any of its executives (the big boss first and foremost) appearing at a press conference to officially announce it, with the aggravating factor of a decision that was clearly made days ago?”
This controversy comes at a crucial juncture for AC Milan, with reports suggesting that Sergio Conceição is set to be announced as the new manager. The fans’ statement reflects a growing discontent with the club’s management and their decision-making processes.
