Paulo Fonseca held talks with Theo Hernández: coach unhappy with form and dip in performance
AC Milan head coach Paulo Fonseca had a one-on-one discussion with Theo Hernández, whose recent performances have been underwhelming. The Portuguese manager expressed his dissatisfaction with the left-back’s current form.
Details. According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Fonseca addressed Hernández directly, asking for an explanation for the downturn in his performances. Tensions between the two have been evident since Fonseca’s arrival at Milan earlier this year. The coach has even benched the star defender in several Serie A matches this season.
However, these disciplinary measures seem to have backfired. Hernández’s performances have remained lackluster, particularly in recent weeks.
Context. Theo Hernández has been a key figure for AC Milan since joining from Real Madrid in 2019. His dip in form has negatively impacted the team’s overall play. Milan currently sits in 7th place in Serie A after 14 matches this season.
