AC Milan names Ruben Amorim as new head coach in managerial shake‑up

AC Milan is set to appoint Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim as the club’s next head coach, ending weeks of speculation about possible appointments such as Julian Rangnick. The move follows criticism from commentators, including Paolo De Paola, who said the club “is going nowhere” without a clear sporting director and a decisive project.

Amorim, who recently left Manchester United after an unsuccessful stint, brings a reputation for modern, high‑intensity football. Club officials hope his arrival will restore identity, continuity and competitiveness after a troubled season marked by internal conflicts and questions over the influence of senior figures such as Zlatan Ibrahimović and owner‑CEO Paolo Carnevali. The appointment signals a new era for the Rossoneri as they aim to return to top‑flight performance.

Both commentators also highlighted past managerial turnover – including Stefano Pioli’s predecessor Stefano Rossi and earlier coaches – and stressed the need for a stable sporting director to guide the project.
