Amorim Gives Milan His Yes — Now He’s Waiting on One Final Call From the Club

Rúben Amorim has told AC Milan he’s all in. Now the ball sits squarely in the Rossoneri’s court.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, the former Manchester United manager is ready to accept every condition discussed with the Serie A club and is simply waiting for the “final green light” to become Milan’s new head coach.

What’s on the Table

Reports from A Bola and Corriere dello Sport indicate Milan has offered Amorim a two-year deal worth north of €3 million per season. The Athletic has also confirmed that the 41-year-old Portuguese tactician is now the frontrunner for the job at San Siro.

“Rúben Amorim, ready to accept all conditions discussed with Milan to become the new manager,” Romano posted on X. “He wants the job and is waiting for the final green light from Milan.”

Milan has not made any official announcement, and the club’s search for a new CEO, technical director, and sporting director continues after Ralf Rangnick opted to extend his contract with the Austrian national team instead of taking a front-office role in Milan.

Why This Matters

The Rossoneri are coming off a rocky 2025-26 campaign that ended with Massimiliano Allegri being sacked — and, more painfully, no Champions League qualification. That failure has put extra pressure on the front office to get this hire right.

Before zeroing in on Amorim, Milan had held discussions with Oliver Glasner and Mauricio Pochettino. But neither moved the needle enough to land the job. Amorim, by contrast, is said to be eager and has already signaled he’s willing to work within the club’s current structure — even without a fully formed front office above him.

What’s the Catch?

Amorim’s last stop didn’t exactly go to plan. He was sacked by Manchester United in January 2026 after just 14 months in charge. His tenure at Old Trafford was marked by inconsistent results and tactical struggles, though many pointed to a fractured roster and lack of institutional support as bigger issues.

Still, his reputation in Portugal — where he turned Sporting CP into champions — remains strong. Milan fans online have noted that the club is betting on the Amorim who dominated in Lisbon, not the one who struggled in Manchester.

For now, Amorim has said yes. All that’s left is for Milan to make it official.
