Serie A 2017/18: AC Milan 0-2 Juventus - 5 Talking Points

#2 Pressure mounts on Vincenzo Montella

Walking on thin ice

A 0-0 draw against Genoa with 10 men and a 4-1 win over Chievo in the last week made everyone think that Milan were back on track after a dismal September. But, the Rossoneri are back to square one after another dispirited performance against Juventus.

AC Milan, at the moment, are 12 points below Juventus and Napoli, which could increase to 15 tonight, if Napoli beat Sassuolo.

Milan are closer to the relegation zone at the moment than they are to the top. Their goal difference is also a disappointing 0 at the moment (16 scored, 16 conceded). Montella's days seem to be numbered at the moment despite the board recently giving their full support to the man in charge.

But the manner of the losses, combined with the ever-increasing gap between Milan and the top teams, the owners are expected to pull the trigger on Montella anytime soon. Paulo Sousa of Fiorentina is the choice to replace him at the helm according to leading Italian tabloids.
