There are many criticisms of Paulo Fonseca’s Milan, also because the results are struggling to arrive with continuity: in the first nine games of the season (seven in the league, two in the Champions League), only three victories have arrived (against Venezia, in the derby against ‘Inter and against Lecce), two draws (against Torino and Lazio) and four defeats (against Parma, Liverpool, Bayer Leverkusen and Fiorentina).
Average points
All this makes Fonseca the worst Milan coach in terms of points average in the last ten years in the last ten starts of the season.
Pioli’s Milan, 1.88 points average after 9 games.
Mihajlovic’s Milan, 1.76 points average after 9 games.
Gattuso’s Milan, 1.75 points average after 9 games.
Montella’s Milan, 1.75 points average after 9 games.
Inzaghi’s Milan, 1.38 points average after 9 games.
Giampaolo’s Milan, 1.29 points average after 9 games.
Fonseca’s Milan, 1.22 points average after 9 games.
Contextualization
This statistic says a lot, but not everything. Fonseca has many faults, also because, compared to his colleagues who preceded him, the squad available is clearly stronger, but he also has various mitigating circumstances, such as the faults of the players who, especially with regards to errors, attitude and superficiality, They’re leaving a lot to be desired. At the end of the day, however, no one expects there to be top results and good play right away, but it’s also not possible to find ourselves in a situation like that on October 10th.
