Answer 1

You need to add a namespace to the FontModel class.

namespace Front\Model;

use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;

class FrontModel extends AbstractActionController
{}

Also, it's worth noting that your naming conventions could lead to confusion. I would recommend placing all the controllers in the controller folder, and reading up on the coding standards .

Answer 2

Tested and works

namespace Front\Model;

use Zend\Mvc\Controller\AbstractActionController;

class FrontModel extends AbstractActionController
{

    /* Application initializer 
    ** All front application logic
    */

    public function __construct ()
    {
        die('ssss');

        $this->_viewManager=new ViewModel;
        $this->_viewManager->setTemplate('front/index/index');
        return $this->_viewManager;


    }
}
