We are at the final stages of Gerry Cardinale’s casting: the Portuguese is one step away from the Milan bench

After more than twenty days of casting, Massimiliano Allegri’s successor finally has a name. Barring further (however unlikely) twists and turns, Ruben Amorim will be the coach who will have the task of bringing the Devil back to the top. The turning point came after the talks of the last few days, which convinced Gerry Cardinale to insist on the Portuguese, sacked in January by Manchester United. And bookmakers also confirm: Ruben Amorim’s odds at Milan have literally collapsed in the last few hours on all the main betting sites.

RUBEN AMORIM MILAN ODDS

Here we are. The puzzle for the Milan bench has never been so close to a solution. In the last few hours the name of Ruben Amorim seems to have surpassed the competition: Cardinale would have been convinced after listening to the Portuguese coach’s idea of ​​football, considered in line with the club’s expectations. High center of gravity, immediate winning back of the ball and – more generally – a modern and dominant mentality in constant search of the result. An attitude that paid off for Sporting, who returned to win the championship with Amorim after 19 years, but not for United, who gave him the sack after just over a year. Now the new opportunity is called Milan, where a two-year contract worth three million awaits him with an option for a third year. The signing is also close according to bookmakers: Ruben Amorim’s odds at Milan have collapsed to 1.85 on the banks of the main operators.
