Tuttosport spoke in today's edition of Paulo Fonseca once again. He is now close to being announced as the new coach of AC Milan. The Portuguese coach will sign a two-year contract with an option for a third year at 2.5 million euros per season.
The official announcement is expected next week, while the official presentation will be held at the latest on the day of the team gathering at Milanello, scheduled for the week starting Monday, July 9.
Fonseca will have a challenging schedule to shape the team according to his technical and tactical ideas, as some players will be engaged in summer international tournaments and he will have to face a series of international friendlies against top-level teams like Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Barcelona.
The new coach will also have to deal with the skepticism of the fans, who are not enthusiastic about his appointment, and build a relationship of trust with the supporters. Zlatan Ibrahimovic's role will also be important, as he begins his first full season as a club executive and will need to publicly support Fonseca's appointment. The Swede will be the Portuguese coach's ally in overcoming the fans' skepticism.
