Former Manchester United boss Ruben Amorim has been appointed AC Milan head coach on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
The Serie A side are looking to rebuild after sacking Massimiliano Allegri following a fifth-place finish in the league. This meant that they missed out on Champions League qualification for the coming season.<\/p>\n
“There are ambitions that stay with you throughout your career, and coaching AC Milan has always been one of mine,” Amorim said in a statement.<\/p>\n
“I know exactly what this club means: history, prestige and an extraordinary fanbase around the world. It is a challenge I embrace with pride and enthusiasm, fully aware of what these colors represent. I can’t wait to get started and to experience every day the passion that drives AC Milan.”<\/p>\n
Amorim was dismissed from Manchester United in January following 14 months in charge. He replaced Erik ten Hag in November 2024 but struggled to make an impact on the club.<\/p>\n
Previously, he had managed at Sporting Lisbon where he helped end the club’s 19-year wait for a title in 2020-21. They went on to win it again in the 2023-24 season.<\/p>\n
He spent the earlier part of his managerial career at Casa Pia and Braga.<\/p>\n
