Milan: tension grows between Paulo Fonseca and Theo Hernández
The French full-back has not started the Rossoneri’s last two matches
Once Milan captain , Theo Hernández ‘s importance to the Rossoneri seems to be decreasing and, in the last two games, the French international has lost his starting place to Álex Jiménez. In Italy, there is already talk of a tense atmosphere between the full-back and Paulo Fonseca.
According to Gazzetta dello Sport , the Portuguese coach is not satisfied with Hernández ‘s performance and attitude and even confronted the player in front of the Milan squad.
However, the coach has already commented on the lesser use of the full-back, justifying it with the player’s presence in the French national team, even going so far as to consider him “the best full-back in the world”: ” Theo played a lot, he was in the national team. He hasn’t found his best form yet, he’s very important for us. It’s never a punishment for him, it’s simply about putting him in the best conditions. I still say that, for me, he’s the best full-back in the world.”
In Milan since 2019, Theo Hernández ‘s contract with the Rossoneri ends in the summer of 2026. According to the source cited, the 27-year-old’s desire is to continue at the Milanese giants, but the renewal is not yet a certainty.
