AC Milan new head coach, Rúben Amorim
AC Milan are on the verge of appointing Rúben Amorim as their new head coach after a verbal agreement was reached on a long-term deal, multiple reports confirm.
The agreement runs until June 2028, with an option for an additional year, as Milan move quickly to secure a manager viewed internally as central to a long-term rebuild at San Siro.
Amorim is expected to sign this week, with only formal paperwork remaining before the appointment is made official.
The decision follows a turbulent period for Milan, marked by inconsistency, managerial changes, and another season below expectations in Serie A.
The club hierarchy has now shifted firmly towards stability and a clearer football identity rather than short-term fixes.
Amorim has been on Milan’s radar for some time, with senior figures pushing for a coach capable of restoring structure, intensity, and a defined playing philosophy across the squad.
The Portuguese coach, who rose to prominence at Sporting CP, is widely regarded in European football as one of the most progressive young managers, known for tactical organisation and strong player development.
Fabrizio Romano reports that all key terms are agreed, with the deal now in its final stages pending signature and official confirmation.
If completed, the move would represent one of Milan’s clearest managerial resets in years – and a decisive bet on long-term project building over quick fixes.
Nothing official yet, but all indications now point to San Siro.
