Paulo Fonseca and Zlatan Ibrahimovic have been at odds since the Portuguese's first days in Milan, La Gazzetta dello Sport reports. At the airport, when the specialist first arrived in Milan, he was met only by a driver, without a single representative of the club's management. The Swede also dismissively addressed the Portuguese at the team's training session when he asked whom he had coached.

The showdown between the former Shakhtar coach and the legendary striker did not end there. Fonseca said that after the signing of Youssef Fofana, AC Milan fans should not expect any new transfers. Zlatan reacted sharply to these words of the coach: "The window will close when I say so."

It should be noted that the Italians later added Abraham. Ibrahimovic also twice spoke to AC Milan players at the training facility without the coach's permission.
