AC Milan names Ruben Amorim head coach as technical director deal falls through

AC Milan announced the appointment of Portuguese manager Ruben Amorim as head coach on a three‑year contract with an option for a fourth year. The club highlighted Amorim's experience with offensive, high‑intensity football and his ability to develop youth players, aiming to restore competitiveness after missing the Champions League for two seasons.

At the same time, negotiations for German football executive Markus Krösche to become Milan's technical director collapsed. Krösche decided to remain with Eintracht Frankfurt, reportedly due to a €10 million indemnity issue, leaving Milan to restart its search for a new director. Potential candidates such as former Fenerbahçe director Devin Özek have been mentioned.
