Ruben Amorim is set to become the next head coach of AC Milan, agreeing to a new managerial deal that marks his return to top-level coaching after leaving Manchester United.
The Portuguese coach has reportedly accepted a two-year contract with an option for an additional year, depending on performance and club progress. The agreement also includes bonuses and is part of Milan’s wider plan to rebuild after a disappointing domestic season.
Amorim’s appointment comes as AC Milan look for stability and tactical identity following inconsistent results and failure to secure Champions League qualification. Club officials see him as a long-term project manager capable of reshaping the squad and restoring competitiveness in Serie A.
Although headlines have framed the move as a dramatic “return,” the reality is more straightforward: Amorim has been without a club since his departure from Manchester United and is now preparing for a fresh challenge in Italy.
His arrival is expected to bring a more structured, possession-based style of play, with emphasis on pressing and young player development key areas Milan have struggled with in recent seasons.
