Paulo Fonseca contacted by OL for the coaching position

A few days ago, John Textor, who initiated the first contacts with the Portuguese coach even before appointing the club's current technician, a little over a year ago, actually proposed to the former coach of LOSC to commit to Botafogo, without a coach since the departure of Artur Jorge after winning the Copa Libertadores. A prospect rejected by Fonseca, despite the tidy sum associated with this offer. The owner of the Rio club and OL would have taken advantage of the conversation to discuss a return to Ligue 1, less than a year after his departure from LOSC. And there the one who still resides in the north of Italy since his exclusion from AC Milan, would have reserved his answer.
