AC Milan left-back Theo Hernández is facing increasing scrutiny following a series of incidents this season. The French international, who was recently called up for the French national team, has been the subject of criticism from both his coach and a legendary former player.
Paulo Fonseca, Milan's new manager, has expressed his disappointment with Hernández's recent performances. Following a recent match, Fonseca's comments hinted at a growing rift between the player and the coaching staff.
Adding fuel to the fire, former Milan manager Fabio Capello has weighed in on the situation, questioning Hernández's suitability for the captain's armband. Capello highlighted recent incidents, such as a heated exchange with teammate Rafael Leão during a match, as evidence of a lack of leadership and discipline.
"The club inducted Franco Baresi into its Hall of Fame just 15 hours after his captain was sent off for protesting. If you can find a stronger contrast than that, let us know," Capello stated. "The captain, moreover, is the same one who, at the end of August, was the protagonist of the hydration break issue (with Rafael Leão), a more singular than rare episode of physical distancing during a coach's talk. The easy conclusion: AC Milan has a problem with its captains and Theo Hernández is currently not up to the sacred armband of Rivera, Baresi, and Maldini. Footballistically he is a great player, but for now, he is not an example for his teammates. The question is: who should be the captain of Milan?"
Capello's scathing remarks have sparked a heated debate among Milan fans and pundits alike. A recent poll conducted by La Gazzetta dello Sport overwhelmingly indicated that fans believe Hernández should be stripped of the captaincy. Moreover, rumors have surfaced linking the French defender with a move to Bayern Munich, further fueling speculation about his future at the San Siro.
With his future at the club uncertain, Hernández will need to improve his performances and behavior on and off the pitch if he is to regain the trust of his manager, teammates, and the fans.
