The draw against Roma appears to have been the final straw for Fonseca, who confirmed his departure to journalists waiting outside the stadium.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cI\u2019ve just learnt that I\u2019ve been sacked as coach. That\u2019s life, that\u2019s how it is. My conscience is calm because I did everything I could,\u201d said the former Braga and Lille boss<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Fonseca replaced Stefano Pioli at the end of the 2023\/24 season and was officially appointed Milan\u2019s manager in June 2024.<\/p>\n

Under his tenure, Chukwueze featured in 22 matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist\u2014an improvement in playing time compared to his stint under Pioli.<\/p>\n

The Nigerian winger had earlier expressed gratitude for the trust Fonseca placed in him, telling MilanTV, as quoted by Milan Posts:<\/a><\/p>\n

\n

\u201cFonseca trusts me, he believes in me. I\u2019m happy to have my chance and want to repay the coach\u2019s confidence.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

However, the ambitions of the Super Eagles winger to shine further under Fonseca have been cut short by the manager\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\n

Despite being linked with moves to Arsenal, Besiktas, and Aston Villa, Chukwueze will now focus on impressing Milan\u2019s next head coach as he looks to solidify his place in the squad.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
