The countdown has now officially started and Paulo Fonseca is expected to be named as the new head coach of AC Milan by the middle of next week, a report claims.
According to what is being reported by Calciomercato.com, the Portuguese coach is expected in Milan either on Tuesday or Wednesday of next week for the signing of his contract and the official announcement.
They also confirm the indiscretions from La Gazzetta dello Sport regarding the staff that will join him starting with Paulo Ferreira, the former Chelsea defender who is a key man among Fonseca’s entourage and is formally his assistant.
The figure of Tiago Leal is also central, who has been him since his time at Roma, but who had a more important role at Lille. Completing the team are Paulo Mourao – his physical trainer since 2022 – and Antonio Ferreira, the goalkeeping trainer who has worked with Fonseca since his time at Shakhtar Donetsk.
Fabrizio Romano is among the sources to report that Fonseca is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Rossoneri, and his salary will be €2.5m net per season. We published a feature last night which outlines how his first 10 weeks in charge should look.
😧😴😤
In the meantime real Madrid win ucl 15 and get a cf from psg you may of heard of .
Interesting choice for comparison. A club generating over 800 million per season with one that generates half that. Serie A clubs have been unable to compete with the big European clubs financially for decades now making a comparison pointless.
Very funny dude . Mbappe signing fee 100 m euro while his salary 40m euro / season. Just signing fee already take all ACM transfer budget.
Where do you think Fonseca will get us on the table at the end of next year?
I think we will definitely be behind:
Inter, Napoli, Atlanta
Probably behind some if not most of:
Juventus, Roma, Lazio
Trying to finish on top of
Fiotentina, Bologna
So hopefully 6th or 7th
What do you think?
Or we could win our first treble 🤭😁. Such is football

Hard to say given we don’t know what the team looks like nor how other teams change. I am guessing that we will see slightly improved performance, albeit minimal given the similarities between Pioli and Fonseca. I would be surprised and disappointed if we don’t finish in the top 4 though. I am guessing Napoli will be slightly better, Inter will have a slightly worse season still challenging for the title and Juventus will be better too. This is all speculative though since the offseason hasn’t even started yet.
