Tiago Pinto, former general manager of Roma now at Bournemouth, spoke to gianlucadimarzio.com about Paulo Fonseca joining Milan:
"I see this move to Italy as an opportunity he deserves. Paulo Fonseca did an incredible job at Lille during a period of change for the team, which had lost half of its players when he arrived. He managed to have two spectacular years with great results, an impressive European campaign, and above all, a very attractive style of play that was praised by everyone. That's why, nowadays, coming to a club like Milan is something he truly deserves."
How will Paulo Fonseca's impact be on the environment?
"Right away, the fans and the people at the club will feel that he has a very strong imprint on the game he wants to play. And I am absolutely certain that things will go well. The club is also a great organization, well-organised, with many competent people, a good team, great fans, and I think it has everything to work out."
What is Paulo Fonseca's strength?
"The teams coached by Paulo Fonseca have always had a strong identity: an attacking and dynamic style of play. He is also known for his ability to enhance players, especially young ones, at every club. Players have improved, grown, and matured with his method of working. And then he is truly a human being with superior values and human qualities. This makes him a coach with whom it is relatively easy to work for a director or president, depending on the club's structure."
