Paulo Fonseca - New Head Coach of AC Milan
Born in Nampula (Mozambique) on 5 March 1973, Paulo Fonseca began his coaching career in 2005.
He coached Estrela da Amadora's youth system before taking positions in the lower tiers of Portuguese professional football.
He made his first appearance in a top-flight dug-out with Paços de Ferreira, qualifying with them for the Champions League play-off round.
The Portuguese coach joined Porto in 2013 and won the Supertaça. This was his first piece of silverware as a coach.
Following a spell at Braga, who he guided to a Taça de Portugal title, he joined Shakhtar Donetsk, where he won seven trophies and finished with a record of 103 wins in 139 matches.
In 2019, he moved to AS Roma - and this was his first appearance in Italian football. He took the team to the Europa League semi-final in 2021.
Fonseca has been the head coach of LOSC since Summer 2022, concluding his stint in France after two seasons. During this time, he contributed twice to Lille’s qualification for European competitions.
