Paulo Fonseca is back in Serie A: 3 years after leaving AS Roma, the Portuguese technician is named in charge of Noah Okafor’s AC Milan. He comes out of a 2-year experience in Lille.
“We studied very carefully how he prepared his matches, we want him to bring his playing identity, his attacking style, we wanted something new with all the respect we have for Stefano Pioli“, explained Zlatan Ibrahimovic, representative of the club owner.
Fonseca, 51, succeeds Stefano Pioli, dismissed at the end of the 2023/24 Italian championship after 5 seasons. The Lombard club, which also recorded the departure of its top scorer, Frenchman Olivier Giroud, who left for Los Angeles FC, is coming out of a season without a trophy.
A white season to forget
Milan, whose 19th league title dates back to 2022, was eliminated from the Champions League in the group stage, finishing behind Dortmund and PSG and sinking with elimination in the 1/4 of the Europa League against the Roma and a setback in the derby against Inter, synonymous with the 20th coronation for its great rival.
