"That was part of the confusion that was prevalent at AC Milan at the time. I think some mistakes were also made. I remember Fonseca as a great gentleman. I'm still convinced that if he'd been properly escorted, accompanied, and protected, he would have had a much greater impact."
"You don't win that derby by chance with Gabbia's goal after losing six, you don't win in Madrid 3-1. There were concepts, there was something of his own. He had ideas, but there are coaches who need to be protected by a management team."
"Last year at AC Milan there was a huge management crisis. That's why Allegri is the right man, because he's his own manager, regardless of the arrival of someone like Igli Tare."
Paulo Fonseca was appointed as Stefano Pioli's replacement at AC Milan but lasted just 24 games, recording 12 wins, six draws and six defeats, leaving before the new year. The dismissal process was chaotic, with reports that Fonseca might manage his final game against Roma followed by rumours that Sergio Conceicao would replace him; Conceicao also lasted six months. Fonseca produced notable results and had distinct ideas, including a derby win and a 3-1 Madrid victory, but lacked managerial protection amid a wider club management crisis. Massimiliano Allegri is viewed as suitable because he self-manages.
