Milan Appoints Rúben Amorim as Head Coach

Owner Gerry Cardinale has chosen Amorim to install an attacking, high‑press style that will drive imminent technical hires and transfer decisions.

Overview

  • AC Milan officially announced Rúben Amorim as head coach on Tuesday, June 16, ending a three‑week search after Massimiliano Allegri’s dismissal.
  • Reports say Amorim has signed a multi‑year deal with figures widely cited around €3.2–3.5 million a year plus bonuses and options that could run to 2028–2029.
  • The coach favours a 3‑4‑2‑1 or 3‑4‑3 system built on high pressing, vertical play and playing out from advanced defenders, and he is expected to prioritise young players.
  • Milan’s wider sporting rebuild remains incomplete as the club pursues technical hires such as Markus Krösche and Timmo Hardung and negotiates the new structure that Cardinale will lead.
  • The appointment immediately affects the transfer picture: Rafael Leão’s future is unresolved and the club is open to sales, club insiders name Gonçalo Ramos among targets, and Juventus has begun its own reshuffle under new CEO Giovanni Carnevali with moves on Jeremie Boga and goalkeeper targets.
