Today's edition of L'Equipe reviewed Paulo Fonseca's situation, who is a primary target for Milan. Yesterday, the Portuguese coach met with Lille's president, Olivier Létang, to discuss the matter.
It emerged that Fonseca has not yet made a definitive decision and has taken a week to consider his options.
Létang wants to continue with Fonseca, emphasising the goal of securing a Champions League spot through the playoffs. Milan, on the other hand, will participate in the tournament without needing to go through playoffs, giving them an advantage.
Marseille does not have this advantage and is also dealing with organisational instability seen last season. As a result, Marseille is looking at other candidates, such as Almeyda and Conceição, although Conceição is seeking a higher-level club.
The French newspaper mentioned above also highlighted that Fonseca is the favourite of Geoffrey Moncada but not of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who is pushing for Mark Van Bommel. The outcome of this contest will determine the fate of the Portuguese coach, with Lille waiting to see the results.
