Milan players and staff members have flown to Australia for a friendly tourneé where they will also meet domestic rivals Roma.
Daniele Bonera will lead the team in Australia, while Fonseca will be officially appointed after the Rossoneri’s last game of the season.
Fonseca’s contract with Lille expires in June 2024 and the Portuguese has reportedly rejected an offer from Olympique Marseille to return to Serie A.
I hope the yanks state on his clause, he must remember how many subs he has used & which players are allowed to play. We’ll be mid-table team next season
I’ll keep an open mind with Fonseca. But I’m sort of surprised that, given Ibra’s supposed influence, and his “winner” mentality, that he hasn’t gone for a coach with a similar mentality e.g. Conte. Who cares if he costs double Fonseca or triple, at the sums they’re dealing with an extra few million means almost nothing.
