‘An excellent impact’ – Sky journalist lifts lid on training under Fonseca so far

Paulo Fonseca has been around AC Milan for a little over a week now, but his impact can be felt already, according to Peppe Di Stefano, which is a very positive message. 

When it was announced that Fonseca would be the man to take Stefano Pioli’s seat on the touchline, there were some initial doubts from fans, and it is fair to say these doubts are still in place for some. An understandable situation given no games have been played, but a situation nevertheless.

However, reports from around the club are hugely positive, and with the club starting to make moves in the mercato, the Portuguese coach’s stock could be on the rise shortly.

Perhaps, the worries about the manager are projections from other issues that are then placed on the face of the squad. Maybe, it is something else, but the initial reactions were not massively enticing.

For Di Stefano, who is ever present around the club, though, the reports are positive, and the Sky journalist has commented on the impact of Fonseca so far, and his comments have been relayed by Radio Rossonera.

“Here at Milanello it’s back to work strongly, this week double training sessions except Wednesday and Saturday the first friendly against Rapid Vienna. There are good feelings from players and insiders, there is great enthusiasm from Fonseca on the players and vice versa. For now, the first 7 days have been of great impact, it will be a long market for Milan.”
