Ruben Amorim Nears New Role Following Turbulent Manchester United Tenure
Ruben Amorim, former Manchester United manager, is reportedly the leading candidate to take charge of AC Milan following Massimiliano Allegri's departure. Amorim has been out of work since January 5, after a tumultuous 14 months at Old Trafford, where he failed to win any trophies and led the team to a 15th-place finish in the 2024-2025 season.
According to The Athletic, Amorim held talks with Milan in Portugal last week, as the club seeks to rebuild after parting ways with Allegri, Sporting director Igli Tare, chief executive Giorgio Furlani, and technical director Geoffrey Moncada. Milan's overhaul comes after failing to qualify for the Champions League, finishing fifth in Serie A.
Initially, Milan had targeted former Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, but he was snapped up by Liverpool after Arne Slot's surprise dismissal. The club has also been linked to U.S. men's national team manager Mauricio Pochettino, former Crystal Palace manager Oliver Glasner, and Al Ahli's Matthias Jaissle.
If appointed, Amorim will face pressure to turn around Milan's fortunes, with the team collecting only 70 points from 38 matches last season. Meanwhile, Manchester United has moved on, with Michael Carrick leading the team to a third-place finish in the Premier League and qualifying for the Champions League. Carrick has been rewarded with a two-year contract, and the team is already making moves to bolster its squad for next season.
