The official announcement hasn't been made yet, the club isn't letting anything slip, but various newspapers and football market experts are certain: Fonseca will be the new coach of Milan. A contract is already prepared for 2 years with a net salary of 2.5 million euros per season, writes MilanPress.it.
The challenge facing the Portuguese coach is significant: not only will he have to bring trophies home, but he will also immediately have to deal with a fan base that will be somewhat displeased by the news of his appointment.
Milan hasn't won a trophy since the 2022 Scudetto, has lost 6 consecutive derbies, and concedes too many goals; the fans will expect improvements in these three areas to place their trust in him.
But there's another challenge within the challenge awaiting him. As analyzed and reported by SportMediaset, there's a taboo to break, and it's not an easy one: a foreign coach hasn't won with Milan since the days of Liedholm, which was 50 years ago.
The pressures add to the pressures, it won't be easy, but as many experts have said, the club will need to show its strength by standing by the coach during the toughest moments that will undoubtedly come.
