Paulo Fonseca has been heavily linked with the AC Milan job in recent weeks and now appears to be at the top of the wish list. As highlighted by Marco Parolo, hiring the Portuguese manager would come with both pros and cons.
Stefano Pioli will leave Milan at the end of the season and the announcement should arrive already in the next few days. Once the termination has been agreed upon, the Rossoneri will be able to focus fully on the 58-year-old’s replacement.
The latest reports suggest that Fonseca is one of the top candidates, having done well with Lille in Ligue 1. Speaking live on DAZN, as cited by PianetaMilan, the former Lazio midfielder and current pundit Marco Parolo shared his thoughts on the manager taking over Milan.
“Fonseca? The pros are the technical continuity with the same formation as Pioli, as well as the experience of working with young players. He has also coached many European teams and knows Serie A, so he knows what is required of him.
“The cons? He won’t cause fireworks and it’s not a drastic shock, because he seems like someone who will lead you to good results but I don’t know if he will win a trophy,” he stated.
There have been many reports in the last few weeks and the whole matter is getting a bit tiring, but at least a decision is now very imminent.
