Milan have three Portuguese coaches in their sights. According to reports Sky Sports Sergio Conceicao, Porto’s coach, would be among those eligible for the new Rossoneri course. The coach had renewed with the former president, Pinto da Costa, but with the election of André Villas Boas, confirmation will be needed to keep him at Dragao. Otherwise he could free himself – given that the agreement was, in fact, linked to the confirmation of the former blue and white number one – and it is not a prospect to be underestimated for the Rossoneri.
Otherwise there would be Ruben Amorim, coach of Sporting Lisbon. In recent weeks there had been talk of a possible move to Liverpool, but Arne Slot appears clearly in pole position. So the Portuguese could also be a profile for the breath of fresh air he would bring to the Rossoneri, as well as a salary that isn’t too high. West Ham are also on him.
Then, in the background, Paulo Fonseca. The former Roma player has coached Lille since 2022: fifth place last season, so far he has collected 49 points in 28 games, in fourth place in the table. It would be a candidacy of continuity because he already knows the Italian championship and Serie A. It remains to be seen whether he can be a suitable profile for a fan base that has already rejected Lopetegui.
