Paulo Fonseca, current boss of Lille, advances in the race for Milan’s bench. The Portuguese coach has been a concrete idea since spring and recent contacts could mark a turning point. Moncada is personally working out the details of the agreement, as Fonseca has always been a clear candidate for him.
The former AS Roma coach recently overtook Sergio Conceicao and Mark Van Bommel in this race. In fact, the current Porto tactician does not fully convince the Rossoneri management while the former Milan player turned coach had only preliminary contacts with the club.
The Italians, for their part, are awaiting the end of the Ligue 1 season to finalise the deal with Paulo Fonseca and beat Marseille in the race to secure his services.
Why Fonseca? As per Calciomercato.com, AC Milan prefer a coach capable of playing with young players, proposing offensive football, and with style. Fonseca generally fits these criteria, making him likely to replace Stefano Pioli.
