Curva Sud leader publishes strong statement after Roma loss: 'A change of coach is now a must'

One of the leaders of the Curva Sud has published a strong statement on social media, calling for action from the management after yet another disappointing season for AC Milan.

After being knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage, the Coppa Italia in the quarter-finals and the Scudetto race before Christmas, the hopes of salvaging the season rested upon a deep run in the Europa League.

Milan’s Europa League run was ended at the quarter-final stage as they lost the second leg 2-1 against Roma, meaning they crashed out 3-1 on aggregate. After a very flat performance at San Siro, the Rossoneri found themselves 2-0 down inside 22 minutes and went out at the Olimpico.

Luca Lucci, the head of Milan’s Curva Sud, expressed his opinion on the Rossoneri season in the aftermath of the defeat against Roma in the Europa League and did so via a post on his Instagram profile.

“Dear Mister, I strongly want to remember you as the creator of one of the most beautiful titles in Milan’s history, but then we get to the point where the paths inexorably have to part and I would say that all of us fans have waited too long!

“I’m certainly not one of those who points the finger at the individual, because it’s clear to everyone that the blame for a year like this is to be divided on several fronts!

“It certainly cannot be a second place that gratifies us and makes us proud of our Milan, because if the alibi of having faced an iron round is valid for the Champions League, it must also be recognised that the Coppa Italia and the Europa League were within reach objectives on which we could aim strongly.

“All things considered, at this point a change of coach is now a must in the face of a Milan that has been boring for some time, devoid of play, confused, inadequate and unprepared especially in decisive matches, fluctuating and so on and so forth, a Milan that has need a change of direction, new stimuli and above all to find the game that has been lost for some time!

“Now on Monday comes a derby that would give the sh*** a particular meaning in the victory of their cardboard star, after a flat season, with a title never in question and never fought for (by us first and foremost) totally devoid of charm and won for months now.

“There is no party to ruin or victory to prevent because the game has been over for some time, very little will change for us because the Derby, cartoon or not, always has supreme importance, but if on the one hand the result will count for the most part humiliation that they wish to inflict on us, on our part there must be the f***ing desire to bring home the derby that has been missing for too long now!

“Finish this season with the professionalism that should distinguish every professional, but certainly the fans today no longer have to wait for any response!”
