On a Tight Budget: AC Milan's Decision to Choose Fonseca

The spotlight is currently on the Portuguese and the team's lackluster performance at the start of the season.

TMW says Milan passed on the likes of Antonio Conte and Gian Piero Gasperini, due to their asking price.

Milan budgeted for a package of €3m-a-year, which brought Fonseca to the forefront.

That his playing system was similar to predecessor Stefano Pioli's was also a factor in his appointment.

However, the focus is now on Fonseca - and also director Zlatan Ibrahimovic - as Milan  struggle to find cohesion under the new coach.
