Following in the footsteps of Julen Lopetegui, Paulo Fonseca is another coach that Milan and West Ham United are interested in acquiring.
The media consistently associates the two clubs with the same candidates, suggesting that they have similar beliefs about the type of football they want to play and are looking for a change in bench leadership.
According to reports this morning, Lopetegui told West Ham United that he would rather play for Milan; however, the Rossoneri later withdrew their statement after facing strong opposition from incensed supporters.
Battle for Fonseca
Fonseca is reportedly another contender for the Hammers, according to TEAMtalk, but La Gazzetta dello Sport, Sky Sport Italia, and other publications had already named him in relation to Milan.
When Fonseca’s contract with Lille, a French team, expires on June 30, he will become a free agent.
