AC Milan is reportedly in talks with former Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim to take over as the club's new manager. According to Telecom Asia Sport, Amorim will earn €4 million per season at Milan. He has already agreed to take over the team and is awaiting a final decision from the Rossoneri management.
Background
Amorim's last position was at Manchester United, where he led the team from November 2024 to January 2026. He led the team to the Europa League final in the 2024/25 season. Milan finished the 2025/26 season in fifth place in the Italian Serie A standings.
The Negotiations
The interest in Amorim is part of a thorough and robust process to restructure Milan after Massimiliano Allegri and the executive team were sacked following the failure to qualify for the Champions League. As reported by The New York Times, Amorim held talks with the Serie A club in Portugal last week.
What it means
If Amorim takes over as AC Milan's manager, it would be his first gig back in the technical area since his rough patch with Manchester United. This move could be a significant turning point for the club, which has struggled to qualify for the Champions League in recent seasons. As Sporting News notes, Amorim's experience and tactical acumen could be just what the club needs to get back on track.
Conclusion
While the talks are still ongoing, it seems that Amorim is the leading candidate to take over as AC Milan's manager. The club's fans will be eagerly waiting to see how this situation unfolds and whether Amorim can bring success to the team. Kickoff XI is an independent publication and is not affiliated with FIFA.
