In case of exemption, the contract allowed the club to terminate the agreement by paying a penalty equal to 8 months’ salary. It was not necessary for the termination to occur by December 31st
In financial terms, Milan – already free from economic constraints with Pioli – have already sorted everything out with Fonseca too. Contract terminated. In fact, there was a clause which, faced with the payment of a penalty of 8 months’ salary, allowed the company to exempt him. The termination did not need to occur by December 31st. Even if the end had been sanctioned in the new year, the financial terms of the divorce would have been the same. Milan will therefore pay Fonseca until August, with a saving of around 4 million gross, what they would have paid him from September to the end of the 2025-26 season. Naturally, Conceiçao or any new coach will pay in those months.
severance pay
—
The Portuguese, who earned around 2.5 million per season, with a contract until 2026 (and an option until 2027), will receive around 1.7 million net severance pay. He will remain living in Italy at least until the summer because his children go to school in Milan. Unless he gets an interesting proposal from abroad. He is free and could obviously accept it immediately.
