Methods, exits and additions – Fonseca and Ibrahimovic revolutionise Milan’s staff

Exactly one month before the start of the Serie A season, the new coach Paulo Fonseca and Senior Advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic have implemented a real revolution at AC Milan.

According to La Gazzetta dello Sport (seen below), many things have changed and will continue to change, from the way the mercato is conducted to the style of play, from the coaching staff to the medical departments.

The paper talks about the changes that Fonseca and Ibrahimovic have brought to Milan’s staff above all, with the primary objective of solving the injury problem that has affected the last few seasons under Stefano Pioli.

The approach during the first days of training was physical and will continue to be. A lot of work was done on intensity, which is why double training sessions were reintroduced in this first phase.

Supporting Fonseca in bringing his ideas is a ‘large and revolutionised’ staff. In addition to Tiago Leal, Paulo Ferreira and Paulo Morao who are his assistants, Antonio Ferreira (goalkeeping coach) and Nelson Duarte (match analyst) will join.
