labeling the reports as “outright lies.” In a fiery press conference, Fonseca addressed rumors circulating in recent weeks that suggest he is on the verge of being sacked due to underwhelming performances by the Rossoneri.
The Portuguese coach, who joined AC Milan amid high expectations, categorically denied claims that his job is in jeopardy. “I’m here to set the record straight,” Fonseca said. “These rumors that I will be sacked are lies, plain and simple. The media has created this narrative without any truth behind it. I have full support from the club, and we are working hard to improve results.”
Speculation intensified following Milan’s inconsistent start to the Serie A season, with some reports suggesting the board was considering potential replacements. Fonseca, however, dismissed these rumors, affirming that he is committed to turning things around at the San Siro.
“The club and I are aligned in our vision for the team. Yes, we’ve had some challenges, but I’m confident in the squad and the direction we’re headed. The idea that I’ve been given an ultimatum is completely false,” Fonseca added.
Milan fans have expressed mixed reactions to the team’s recent form, and Fonseca’s leadership has come under scrutiny. But the manager remains adamant that the media frenzy is only adding unnecessary pressure to the situation. “We are focused on football, not on the distractions from the press. This team is capable of much more, and we will show it,” he asserted.
AC Milan’s board has not released any official statement on the matter, fueling further speculation. However, Fonseca’s strong words and firm denial signal that he has no intentions of stepping down or letting external noise derail his plans.
As the pressure mounts both on and off the pitch, all eyes will be on Fonseca and his squad in the coming matches. Whether he can silence his critics with improved performances remains to be seen, but for now, the AC Milan boss is determined to push back against the media narratives surrounding his future.
