Gazzetta: Paulo Fonseca's job at Milan not at risk

Milan's defeat to Lazio has not put Paulo Fonseca's job at risk

Despite Milan's disappointing 4-0 defeat to Lazio on Tuesday, manager Paulo Fonseca's job is not under immediate threat, according to reports in Italy.

Fonseca has the backing of the club's hierarchy

Gazzetta dello Sport reports that Fonseca still has the full backing of the club's hierarchy, who believe he is the right man to lead Milan back to success.

The club's owners are said to be impressed with Fonseca's work ethic and commitment, and they believe he has the potential to be a successful manager at Milan.

Milan's poor form is not down to Fonseca

Gazzetta also reports that the club's poor form is not down to Fonseca, but rather a combination of factors, including injuries and a lack of investment in the squad.

Fonseca has been without a number of key players in recent weeks, including Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Ismael Bennacer and Davide Calabria.

Milan need to improve their form

However, despite the club's backing, Fonseca knows that he needs to improve Milan's form soon.

Milan are currently 11th in Serie A, and they have not won a league game since October.

Fonseca will be hoping to turn things around when Milan face Torino on Sunday.
