Former Manchester United coach Ruben Felipe Amorim
Rúben Amorim is expected to become the next head coach of AC Milan after reaching an agreement in principle with the Italian giants. Reports indicate the process has moved into its final stage, with only formal internal approval and an official club announcement remaining before the appointment is completed.
The Portuguese manager has reportedly accepted Milan’s sporting project and long-term vision as the club prepares for a major reset ahead of the new campaign. Club executives have been working to identify a coach capable of returning the team to consistent domestic and European competitiveness.
The proposed deal is understood to run until 2028 with an option for an additional year. While final contractual details remain private until confirmation, the agreement is viewed as a long-term commitment rather than a short transitional appointment.
Amorim would return to management following his departure from Manchester United earlier in 2026. Although his spell in England brought mixed results, he continues to be regarded as one of Europe’s most respected young coaches because of his previous achievements in Sporting CP.
At Sporting, Amorim earned recognition for building disciplined, tactically flexible teams and ending long waits for league success. That reputation has remained strong despite recent setbacks and has kept him among the most sought-after coaches in European football.
Inside Milan’s leadership structure, the search process reportedly involved extensive evaluation of several candidates before Amorim emerged as the preferred option. Club decision-makers are believed to see him as a coach capable of leading both immediate improvement and long-term development.
From a football perspective, Amorim is known for structured positional play, aggressive pressing and adaptable defensive systems. His arrival could influence recruitment strategy and trigger wider tactical changes across the squad as Milan prepare for the new season.
For now, the appointment remains expected rather than official. Until AC Milan formally confirms the move, Amorim’s arrival should be viewed as an advanced agreement awaiting final approval and announcement.
