Ruben Amorim appointed AC Milan manager

Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim has signed a contract with AC Milan that runs until 2029, bringing a “manager‑style” role similar to that used in the Premier League. The club expects him to reshape the squad, and he has already reached out to key players – notably French midfielder Adrien Rabiot, whom he told in a personal message that he is a pillar of the new project. Transfer rumours linked to Amorim’s tenure include Portuguese striker Gonçalo Ramos, winger Francisco Trincão, midfielder Niccolò Zaniolo, and Uruguayan defensive midfielder Manuel Ugarte, all cited as potential targets to fit his 3‑4‑2‑1 system. The appointment follows a stalled search for a head of football, with former candidates Ralf Rangnick and Markus Krösche rejecting or being unavailable. Amorim’s tactical blueprint, built at Sporting CP, emphasizes a back‑three, dual pivot, and two playmakers behind a central striker, and he has begun direct communication with the squad and staff to implement it ahead of pre‑season.
