Now Milan seems to have made its decision. Barring last-second twists and turns, Paulo Fonseca will be the coach who will replace Stefano Pioli on the club’s bench. Although the fans have constantly expressed their desire for a more prominent profile such as Conte or De Zerbi, it seems unlikely that the Rossoneri management will retrace their steps. Corriere della Sera journalist Monica Colombo commented on the probable choice of the club on the YouTube channel Radio Rossoneri.

On Fonseca: “It seems to me that there are now few doubts, barring sensational twists that cannot be foreseen at the moment. It won’t be easy for Fonseca, because at the beginning he will have to overcome the fans’ doubts and perplexities. There is no hiding the fact that there is some skepticism about his arrival. And it can only do better than expected.”
On the reasons behind Fonseca’s choice: “The fact of hiring a young coach with a pleasant game proposal that does not involve excessive costs in terms of salary had an impact. Not being among the top tier ones does not have exorbitant demands on the market and not being a one man show knows how to collaborate with other managers in the company. So Conte or De Zerbi were gradually eliminated“.
On De Zerbi: “Did I expect an approach to the former Brighton man? In my opinion he has always been distant. Before, the justification was the clause, because in fact 15 million was an obstacle. But then, talking to the managers, it was clear that there were some doubts linked to his all-encompassing way of experiencing his profession as a bit of a centralist. As if in terms of leadership and personality he was a sort of little Count. Understood in the most negative sense of the term: with requests that could have been less tolerable”.
