Lille's head coach Paulo Fonseca has agreed to take over at AC Milan. This was reported by the famous journalist Nicolo Scira.

"Paulo Fonseca has confirmed his readiness to take over AC Milan. The contract is ready until 2026 (3.5 million euros per year). We have already had two positive phone conversations. Fonseca is on AC Milan's shortlist for the new coaching position along with another candidate. "Milan will make the final choice next week," said Skira.

France striker Kylian Mbappe has announced his departure from PSG and has now shared his expectations for the future.

"Paris will remind me of many things. My career went up at PSG. I won many titles with PSG.

I will lose a lot of things, but I will discover something new. I'm looking forward to it. I am very excited. What's in store for me will be magical," Mbappe was quoted as saying by GFFN.

Former Shakhtar Donetsk head coach Paulo Fonseca, who is currently in charge of French side Lille, is the main contender for the post of Milan coach, Sky Sport Italia reports.

The management of "Milan" not so long ago decided to part ways with the current head coach Stefano Pioli at the end of the current season, and during the search for his successor stopped their choice on Fonseca.

But it is still too early to say that this Portuguese specialist will definitely lead AC Milan. His contract with Lille runs until the end of the current season, and the French club intends to sign a new contract with Fonseca: in the near future, the parties will begin negotiations on this matter. In addition, Marseille have views on Fonseca.

For the first time in its history, French side Brest won the right to play in European competitions.

Brest owes this achievement to PSG, who beat Nice away in the 32nd round of the French Championship. Thus, the club from the Brittany region will no longer fall below 4th place in the Ligue 1 standings at the end of the season.

Fourth place entitles Brest to start its European Cup journey from the third qualifying round of the Champions League, but Eric Roy's men can also qualify for the most prestigious club tournament directly if they beat Toulouse in the last round of the national championship and Lille, who are currently third, do not defeat Nice. At the moment, both Brest and Lille have an equal number of points - 58 each.

It will be recalled that three clubs from France will directly qualify for the Champions League next season, two of which are already known - PSG and Monaco.

Matches of the 32nd round of the French championship took place. The matches were held from 3 May to 15 May. Here are their results.

Then Sona turns red and Rona blue. The lines run side by side along the shirt until they disappear and form one in the centre, symbolising the confluence as the city's emblem," Lyon said in a statement.
