Di Marzio: Milan have ‘chosen one’ in manager search – a multi-year project is ready | OneFootball

AC Milan seem to have made a decision regarding who will become the new head coach and will now move into the final steps, according to a report.

The latest from Gianluca Di Marzio states that Fonseca is ‘the chosen one’ to be the next Milan coach and the Portuguese manager himself seems to have been convinced by the project that the club have put forward to him.

The former Roma coach has received a renewal offer from Lille (a multi-year deal, with a substantial salary) but is taking his time. Furthermore, a meeting with Marseille is scheduled for today because they are also interested.

However, Fonseca seems to have decided to join Milan, despite the temptations of many important opportunities that are still available in Europe, like Manchester United and Bayern Munich.

On a financial level, Fonseca would get less from Milan than what the two French teams (Lille and Marseille) would offer him, but the former Roma boss is convinced by the long-term project (three years) and the guarantees of a competitive team.

Furthermore, the possibility of a return to Italy is making the difference in the choice of coach. To arrive at the signing of the agreement, however, we will have to wait for Stefano Pioli’s exit to be formalised given the severance issue.

In the last few hours there have been and there will continue to be constant contacts between the parties to terminate the current agreement, and then at that point Fonseca will have to communicate the final decision to Lille and Marseille.
