Longo: Fonseca one step away from Milan – how much he will earn | OneFootball

Paulo Fonseca is now just one step away from joining AC Milan, according to a report, and the contract is ready to be signed. At the start of June, the manager should be announced by the club as Stefano Pioli’s replacement.

After the 3-3 draw against Salernitana last night, the last game of the season, Pioli said goodbye to the fans during the ceremony on the San Siro pitch. It was an emotional evening, in other words, but now Milan will have to focus on the future.

According to Daniele Longo of Calciomercato.com, the Rossoneri have chosen Fonseca as their new manager and he’s just details away from joining. The final detail to solve is the contract length: it will either be a two-year deal with an option for a third, or a simple three-year deal.

The Portuguese manager is expected to earn €3m per year, which is about €1m less than what Pioli currently earns per year. It’s a pretty good deal for Milan, in other words, but it remains to be seen if the move will be successful.

As the report concludes, the entire management is convinced about the appointment of Fonseca: he has experience in Italy and abroad, he has an attacking style and he’s used to working with young players.
