Bonucci鈥檚 red spells trouble for Montella
Print Edition
Leonardo Bonucci鈥檚 latest lapse in concentration may end up costing Vincenzo Montella his job at big-spending AC Milan.
Bonucci was sent off in the first half of Milan鈥檚 0-0 draw at home with Genoa yesterday for elbowing a defender in the head as he jostled for position on a free kick.
Milan lost its three previous Serie A matches and was also held 0-0 at home with AEK Athens in the Europa League on Thursday. Last weekend, the Rossoneri were beaten 2-3 by Inter Milan in the city derby after Bonucci was beaten by Mauro Icardi for Inter鈥檚 opener.
Montella has been under pressure for weeks.
Milan 鈥 bought by a Chinese-led consortium in April 鈥 spent more than 200 million euros (US$250 million) on new players in the offseason and Bonucci was the centerpiece of the overhaul.
The fee for Bonucci鈥檚 surprise move from Juventus topped 40 million euros, and he signed a five-year contract worth up to 10 million euros per season 鈥 making him the highest-paid player in Italy.
But Bonucci has been off form over the last month and now risks missing the game against Juventus next Sunday if he鈥檚 given a two-match ban.
Milan dropped to 11th place, 12 points behind leader Napoli.
