Paulo Fonseca has only just arrived in Milan and has already been given a nasty welcome gift.
The Portuguese arrived in Milano on Saturday to start his job as the team’s new head coach and will be presented on Monday ahead of taking his first training session.
With sports betting not as prominent in Italy as countries such as England, Fonseca has had to deal with an unwelcome headline, that one company is already taking bets in his departure.
You can now get 9/1 on Fonseca being sacked by Christmas, while there’s also a market for Antonio Conte to be sacked at Napoli at 12/1.
The backdrop is an awkward one for Fonseca, who replaces 2021 Serie A winner Stefano Pioli who remained hugely-popular among much of the fanbase.
That fanbase already forced the club to U-turn on the appointment of Julen Lopetegui earlier this summer, and Fonseca will certainly have to be careful.
