The 51-year-old Portuguese, who managed French club Lille from 2022-2024, has signed a three-year deal until 2027.
He replaces Stefano Pioli, who left AC Milan by mutual consent after they finished fourth in Serie A.

Lille also lost to Aston Villa on penalties in the quarter-finals of the Europa Conference League final.
Fonesca previously managed Roma, Shakhtar Donetsk and Porto.
He won the Portuguese Super Cup in 2013 with Porto and secured the Ukrainian league and cup double three times with Shakhtar.
