- AC Milan (@acmilan) October 8, 2019With three wins from seven games, Milan are in eleventh place in the Italian Serie A, just three points ahead of the relegation zone. Although managed last weekend with a 2: 1 at CFC Genoa's first success after three defeats in series. However, club bosses Giampaolo do not seem to trust a sustainable turnaround.
The 52-year-old had only replaced former world champion Gennaro Gattuso in the summer, after the previous Champions League winners had missed again in the premier class as table sixth.
In summer, the club was also repeatedly hit the headlines. An impending exclusion from the Europa League could only be averted by an appeal to the Sports Court of Cas. In addition, there had been a sensational change of ownership in the traditional club again. Less than two months after the start of the season, a renewed restart should bring the hoped-for turnaround.
