Paulo Fonseca he is the new coach of Milan. There were no big doubts now, but in today’s press conference Zlatan Ibrahimovic further confirmation has arrived. The Swede spoke about the reasons that pushed the management to choose the Porgohese.
“The new coach will be Paulo Fonseca. We studied well what we were looking for and we chose him to bring his identity and how we want the team to play. After five years with Pioli and with respect for him, we wanted something new. He is very ambitious, he wants to work and improve. Milan needs a coach, not a manager. With you? With great respect, but it’s not what we were looking for”
There is also great curiosity about what the market choices will be. First and foremost the attacker. Milan is willing to pay the release clause for Joshua Zirkzee of 40 million euros, not the 15 requested as a commission by the agent Kia Joorabchian. When asked directly about the player, Ibrahimovic makes it clear that the evaluations concern not only the attacker Bolognabut also other elements.
“Zirkzee is a strong player. He has potential, he had a great season. Then there is a big difference between what he passes around as rumors and what is reality. We don’t do charity. We are looking for a striker, it’s not a secret, but we are looking for him. There are options, then you have to understand which one is best for the club. Maignan, Theo and Leao will remain because they are among the strongest in their roles. They will stay because we don’t need to sell to buy and we have the possibility of buying other great players.”
In the next weeks Fonseca he will begin his real adventure with the Rossoneri, with a team that will have to be defined and in which, in addition to the center forward, other pieces will certainly be added.
