Ruben Amorim Linked to AC Milan After Allegri’s Exit — What a Reunion Would Mean

The dust hasn’t even settled at the San Siro, and already the rumor mill is churning at full throttle. AC Milan’s stunning decision to part ways with Massimiliano Allegri has sent shockwaves through Serie A — and now, insiders are buzzing about a potential blockbuster move for former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim.

According to reports emerging from Italy and Spain, the Portuguese tactician — still smarting from his turbulent 14-month spell at Old Trafford — is reportedly a top candidate to take the reins in Lombardy. Sources close to the situation claim that Milan’s brass, led by American investment group RedBird Capital, are eyeing a complete footballing overhaul after what they’ve labeled an ‘unequivocal failure.’

The Collapse That Changed Everything

Let’s rewind. For most of the 2025-26 campaign, the Rossoneri were flying high — perched comfortably in the top two of Serie A and even flirting with Scudetto contention. But then came the implosion. A disastrous final stretch saw the club tumble out of the Champions League places entirely, capped off by a gut-wrenching loss on the final matchday.

RedBird Capital didn’t mince words in their official statement: ‘The final stretch was completely inconsistent with the performance up to that point. It is now time for change and a comprehensive reorganisation of football operations.’ Translation? Allegri had to go — and the search for his replacement is already in full swing.

Amorim vs. Glasner: The Battle for the Bench

While former Crystal Palace boss Oliver Glasner has reportedly held talks with the club, it’s the prospect of Amorim that has fans buzzing. The 41-year-old arrived at Manchester United as one of Europe’s most promising young coaches after leading Sporting CP to two Primeira Liga titles — the first of which ended a painful 19-year drought for the Lisbon giants.

But his time at Old Trafford was a nightmare. Sacked in January after a string of underwhelming results, Amorim’s stock took a massive hit. Now, though, sources say he’s itching for a comeback — and what better stage than the iconic red and black of Milan?

One insider told us: ‘Amorim is hungry. He knows he has a point to prove in Europe. AC Milan could be the perfect redemption arc.’

Whether the Portuguese boss can rediscover his magic in Italy remains to be seen — but one thing’s for sure: the Rossoneri’s coaching search just got a whole lot more interesting.
