Overview
- Multiple outlets report that Amorim is in advanced talks and has a verbal agreement to take over at AC Milan on an initial two‑year contract with an option for a third year and reported pay of about €3.5–4m a season.
- If the appointment is formalised, Manchester United’s ongoing compensation charge for Amorim and his backroom staff — previously disclosed at roughly £15.9m–£16.7m — would be substantially reduced or cancelled under normal contract terms.
- AC Milan are planning a wider footballing overhaul that could include hiring a head‑of‑football role linked with Ralf Rangnick and new sporting or technical directors to rebuild after missing Champions League qualification.
- Amorim was sacked by Manchester United in January 2026 after 14 months in charge and a public falling‑out with club leaders; his record at Old Trafford is widely reported as 24 wins, 18 draws and 21 losses from 63 matches (about a 38% win rate).
- The move would set up an early reunion with Manchester United in a pre‑season friendly scheduled for 15 August in Wroclaw, Poland, and could change transfer and budget plans at Old Trafford if the severance relief is realised.
