Portuguese coach Paulo Fonseca has reportedly found a new club. But it’s not what many expected.
Paulo Fonseca will certainly not have a third season in Lille. The Portuguese technician is preparing to take on a new challenge. And it won’t be in France.
While he was one of the candidates to succeed Jean-Louis Gasset on the OM bench, the Lusitanian technician will instead take charge of Italy. AC Milan is about to roll out the red carpet for him.
Paulo Fonseca reaches a milestone
According to information disclosed by Fabrizio Romano this Monday morning, everything is in place for Fonseca to take charge of the seven-time Italian champions. However, the financial details of this deal have not yet been leaked.
Fonseca will have his second experience in Serie A. Between 2019 and 2021, he took care of AS Roma. With the Giallorossi, he failed to finish better than fifth in the standings. Despite this record, the Lombard management did not hesitate to bet on him. And make him his first foreign coach since the late Sinisa Mihajlovic in 2016.
Paulo Fonseca will return to the Italian Serie A.
The fans don’t want him
The arrival of Paulo Fonseca at the Rossonerri risks causing chatter among the Rossonerri. This weekend, they protested against his arrival through a support strike. In their eyes, he is not well placed to help the team progress.
As a reminder, Milan separated from Stefano Pioli following a five-year affair. He led his last match against Salernitana (3-3). Many players on the squad paid him a vibrant tribute.
