“From Skepticism to Strategy: How Paulo Fonseca is Transforming AC Milan”
Paulo Fonseca might have joined AC Milan amidst some skepticism from the fans, but he is determined to prove he was the right choice. The management believed Fonseca met specific criteria that other candidates, like Antonio Conte, did not.
Fonseca brings experience from Italy and abroad, an attacking style, a track record with young players, and a willingness to work collaboratively with management.
While some reports suggest Milan hired Fonseca to continue Stefano Pioli’s work, Luca Bianchin of La Gazzetta dello Sport offers a different perspective, noting significant differences between Pioli and Fonseca. Bianchin highlights that Fonseca’s first two months are a learning period, where the players initially struggle but eventually see improvement.
Fonseca’s approach to training, especially regarding possession and pressing, is distinct, with a focus on intense athletic preparation.
