Former AC Milan and Juventus coach Fabio Capello has voiced his support for current Milan manager Paulo Fonseca, who called on his players to "take responsibility for the results" during a recent press conference.

As a reminder, Milan has struggled with consistency in the new Serie A season and currently sits in sixth place in the Italian league standings.

“As he said, it’s time for Milan players to take responsibility for wearing such an important shirt,” Capello told La Gazzetta dello Sport in an interview.

“After their defeat against Fiorentina, many criticised the Milan coach for lacking authority. And considering the penalty chaos, it was a legitimate doubt. Yesterday’s press conference is a signal in this regard: now stop, I’m the manager and I make the decisions, the footballers must adapt.

“And I don’t think that Fonseca went to the press conference just to make a show, I’m sure the words he used inside the locker room were just as harsh.”
