Romano: Structure of Fonseca’s Milan contract offer – the key details

Paulo Fonseca looks destined to be named the next AC Milan head coach, and information has emerged about the structure of his contract, with the coach expected to agree to the terms.

The manager merry-go-round seems to have reached its final rotation, and Milan are about to get off, at least for now. It has been a tedious season, filled with suggestions about the Rossoneri’s stance on Stefano Pioli’s position and his successor, and now it is reaching its conclusion.

As reports suggest, the Diavolo are now set on Paulo Fonseca after an extensive evaluation process, and they will look to confirm him as the next coach shortly. However, there are no guarantees about when this will be yet.

Romano posted on his X account that Fonseca is expected to sign a two-year deal with the Rossoneri, and his salary will be €2.5 million per season. Additionally, Milan will have the option of another year on his contract, and this would come with a pay increase.

Given Pioli earns around €4m per season, this is a sharp decrease, and it is imagined that even if Milan take the extension on the Portuguese coach’s contract, it will not be close to what the 58-year-old currently earns.
