Milan Appoint Rúben Amorim as Head Coach in Ownership-Led Reset

Gerry Cardinale has taken a hands-on role to install a high-press attacking identity and a restructured executive team to deliver Amorim’s transfer and tactical plan.

Overview

  • Rúben Amorim was formally unveiled as AC Milan head coach at a press event on Wednesday after a rapid post‑season clearance of the previous senior management.
  • Owner Gerry Cardinale has moved from a distant role to active leadership and installed Massimo Calvelli, Hendrik Almstadt and Bobby Gardiner in new senior roles to support Amorim.
  • Amorim publicly apologised to Manchester United fans and said lessons from his 14‑month United spell will inform his approach at Milan as he seeks to improve communication and results.
  • Milan have signalled a clear transfer profile by paying a club‑record fee for Gonçalo Ramos, whom Amorim described as a striker who presses, works for the team and fits the high‑tempo system.
  • Near‑term markers to watch are pre‑season integration under the new management, Milan’s push to keep veterans such as Luka Modrić, the uncertainty over Rafael Leão, and whether the overhaul restores domestic and European competitiveness.
