As reported by La Gazzetta dello Sport in their print edition today, the announcement of Fonseca joining AC Milan could come as early as Monday.
The Portuguese coach is different from the one seen in Rome. His first step will be to win over the players with one key challenge: improving Rafael Leao.
In addition to that, Fonseca's new Milan will focus on ball possession. His Lille team liked to keep possession and use short passes, though they had some difficulties in scoring. Milan can challenge Inter for the title only by improving defensive solidity, highlighting their star players, and finding team chemistry.
It remains to be seen whether Fonseca will field Milan in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 formation. He will have to convince the team that they can and must change compared to the season that just ended. It will be interesting to see how he uses Leao, who needs space for his style of play.
