Samuel Chukwueze finds new role under Ruben Amorim at AC Milan
AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze has experienced a career resurgence under head coach Ruben Amorim. After a difficult period at the club and a loan spell at Fulham, the Nigerian international has become a regular starter in a new tactical role.
Amorim has experimented with repositioning Chukwueze, potentially as a wing-back, to better utilize his attacking skills while maintaining defensive balance. In recent matches, such as the 3-0 victory against Lecce, Amorim utilized tactical shifts involving Mario Gila to provide Chukwueze with more flank coverage.
Chukwueze credited his improved form to the confidence and consistent playing time provided by the Portuguese manager. He noted that playing full ninety-minute matches has been a significant change from the previous season, helping him reintegrate into the squad.
