According to several Italian sources, Lille boss Fonseca has emerged as the front-runner for the Milan post in 2024-25. According to Sky Sport Italia, the Rossoneri regard the former Roma coach as the best alternative for Pioli next season. According to Italian broadcasters, Milan executives believe Fonseca will give the project ‘continuity’ by adopting Pioli’s tactical philosophy. Furthermore, the 51-year-old has a ‘balanced’ demeanor on and off the field, which complements Milan’s style.

Fonseca’s contract with Lille expires next month, but Ligue 1 representatives are set to meet with him next week to discuss his future at the club. Fonseca has also garnered interest from Marseille, but he refused a deal with Lille’s opponents last week.
