Agreement found on the basis of a two-year contract with the option for a third season: expected in Italy between today and tomorrow
Rubén Amorim will be the new coach of Milan. The acceleration of the last few hours was decisive: the Rossoneri club submitted the proposal to the Portuguese coach, who accepted. After that, the sealing wax stamp also arrived from Cardinale. Agreement found on the basis of a two-year contract worth 3.5 million per season, with an option for the third year plus bonuses for winning trophies and qualifying for the Champions League. The Portuguese coach will fly to Italy between today and tomorrow to put pen to paper on his agreement with the Devil. The Lisbon coach will thus renounce the year of emoluments agreed with Manchester United, a club that sacked him in January, but with which he had a bond until 30 June 2027.

A former national team midfielder, two World Cups behind him, Amorim is just 41 years old, but has already won on the bench. In 2021 he brought Sporting back to winning the Portuguese title after 19 years, a triumph repeated the following year. Having left Lisbon in November 2024 for Manchester, he was unable to repeat himself in England. Now the new chance at Milan. With Amorim, Gerry Cardinale fills the first spot left vacant after the club was eliminated following its failure to qualify for the Champions League. Once the coach is done, the next piece of the puzzle should be the technical director, with Markus Krösche in clear advantage. Krösche would then like to bring in his trusted Timmo Hardung as sporting director. The two managers – now at Eintracht – are in advanced negotiations with the Devil. At that point, Milan would only have to define the new CEO.
