Milan has officially announced Ruben Amorim as their new head coach, filling the vacancy left by Massimiliano Allegri. The Portuguese manager has signed a contract that runs until 2028, with an option for a further year.

Amorim's recent stint at Manchester United was less successful, failing to achieve stability and leaving without a trophy after 63 matches. However, his time at Sporting CP was highly distinguished. He led the Portuguese club to 230 appearances, securing 164 wins, 33 draws, and 33 losses. During his tenure, Sporting won two Portuguese League titles, two Portuguese League Cups, and one Portuguese Super Cup, re-establishing the club as a major contender.

Before Sporting, Amorim also won a Portuguese League Cup with Braga. His tactical approach is characterized by possession-based play, high pressing after losing the ball, and effective use of wing-backs. This style is expected to influence Milan's game, potentially highlighting players like Alexis Saelemaekers and Davide Bartesaghi.
