Fonseca was dumped by Milan on Monday morning and replaced by former Porto coach Sergio Conceicao.
It has since emerged that Fonseca learned of his dismissal on Sunday through a simple text message from the club's American owner Gerry Cardinale, SkySport24 reports.
Fonseca announced his resignation to local reporters early on Monday morning – more than eight hours before Milan announced their decision
When the Curva Sud learned of the treatment of the Portuguese, it released a statement stating: “A management team can no longer be credible after spending an entire summer boasting about its strong conviction through the Fonseca project.
“You have found your scapegoat, who, even if he is not up to the situation from a sporting point of view, has shown himself to be much more serious and courageous than you, who abandoned him in August.”
