  • Rúben Amorim has been appointed as the new head coach of Milan, signing a contract until 2029.
  • The club is undergoing restructuring after a disappointing season that saw the departure of Massimiliano Allegri and several key management figures.
  • Amorim, known for his success at Sporting CP, aims to rebuild Milan and restore its prominence in Italian and European football.

Portuguese coach Rúben Amorim officially takes the helm at Milan, signing a deal through 2029 to manage the club. He inherits a team in transition, with the departure of Massimiliano Allegri following a season marred by poor results and significant changes in the club's executive leadership.

The 'rossoneri' are embarking on a rebuilding phase after a disappointing campaign that saw them miss out on Champions League qualification. The club's management structure has seen several exits, including CEO Giorgio Furlani, sporting director Igli Tare, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. Amorim's arrival signals a new direction for the historic Italian club.

Amorim, 41, brings a proven track record, most notably his success with Sporting CP. There, he won two league titles, two Portuguese Cups, and a Super Cup, revitalizing the Lisbon-based club and establishing himself as a top coach. His previous experience in the Premier League with Manchester United was cut short due to unsatisfactory results, but his tactical philosophy, emphasizing ball possession, high pressing, and effective wing-play, is expected to be a key factor in Milan's resurgence.
