Fonseca: Milan Ignored My Vision, Favored Amorim
17 Jul
Summary
- Fonseca claims Milan sought identity change but cut short his tenure.
- He noted dissimilar reception compared to Ruben Amorim's arrival.
- The coach believes players held more sway than the club in Italy.

Paulo Fonseca, now managing Lyon, reflected on his challenging period at AC Milan, expressing disappointment with the club's lack of sustained support. He was appointed in 2024 with the mandate to transform Milan's football identity towards a more dominant, possession-based style.
Fonseca believes the process required more patience than he was afforded. He observed a stark contrast in how Ruben Amorim was received, noting the owner's presence at Amorim's welcome compared to his own arrival. Fonseca asserted that during his time, players did not hold undue influence, emphasizing that "Nobody is bigger than the Rossoneri."
