In exactly one week, Milan will begin the 2024-2025 season with the traditional gathering at Milanello, which will in turn begin the usual summer retreat. After five years of Stefano Pioli, a new coach, Paolo Fonseca, will lead the training sessions at the Carnago Sports Center, arriving in Milan in the next few days to get to know the Rossoneri world and work more closely with the management for the transfer market.
Lo staff
A new match analyst will be added to the Portuguese coach’s staff. His name is Paulo Ferreira, legend of Porto, European champions in 2003 and first collaborator at José Mourinho’s Chelsea. In addition to Paulo Ferreira, completing Fonseca’s technical staff will be Tiago Leal, who provides fundamental support on the tactical side, and Paulo Mourao, former athletic trainer of Vitoria Guimaraes, Benfica, Al Nassr and Spartak Moscow.
The demands on the market
As soon as possible, Fonseca will need to see the squad completed at least with a new attacker and a midfielder with defensive characteristics. As regards the striker, the main desire of the Rossoneri management is that of Joshua Zirkzee, but the situation is still anchored to the same problem relating to the request for commissions by the Dutch player’s agent. In midfield, the first name on the list is Youssouf Fofana, a Frenchman born in 1999 whose contract with Monaco will expire in a year; The Monegasques are asking for 25 million euros for him, but Milan aims to spend less than 20.
