According to the latest updates, AC Milan's search for a new coach is getting clearer. The Portuguese tactician Ruben Amorim, whose last spell was at Manchester United, is gaining momentum.
According to what has been reported by sources at The Athletic, the 41-year-old manager held talks with the Rossoneri club in Portugal last week. He is currently the leading profile in race to join the RedBird-owned club.
In fact, Milan initially set out to appoint former Bournemouth coach Andoni Iraola only for Liverpool to unexpectedly sack Arne Slot and appoint the Basque as his replacement.
How was Ruben Amorim's spell at Manchester United?
Despite sitting only four points off the top four upon his arrival, United went on to record a 15th-place league finish, their worst of the Premier League era, with just 42 points, their fewest in a top-flight season since relegation in 1973-74.
Amorim was dismissed after hinting at tensions with United director of football Jason Wilcox over his contentious 3-4-3 system, telling journalists after a 1-1 draw away to Leeds United that he considered himself the "manager" of the club, not the "coach", writes James Horncastle for The Athletic.
