AC Milan appoints Ruben Amorim as coach and explores Nicolò Zaniolo transfer

AC Milan has confirmed the hiring of Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim on a two‑year contract with an option for a third year. The club cited Amorim’s high‑pressing, aggressive style as the basis for a new era following the dismissal of Max Allegri and a fifth‑place finish last season. The agreement includes a salary of roughly €3.5‑4 million per year plus performance bonuses tied to Champions League qualification and trophies.

In parallel, Milan’s transfer activity continues. Agent Claudio Vigorelli met at Casa Milan to discuss the future of forward Nicolò Zaniolo, whose loan to Udinese included a buy‑out clause that has caused a dispute over salary terms. The meeting also touched on interest from Turkish side Trabzonspor in Gustavo Gómez. These negotiations could affect Milan’s squad planning ahead of the 2026/27 season.
