Rúben Amorim is on the verge of becoming the new AC Milan manager for the upcoming season, succeeding Massimiliano Allegri. This breakthrough follows highly positive discussions between the Portuguese tactician and the Rossoneri management over the last few hours.
Initially, AC Milan had been heavily considering Oliver Glasner. However, the race narrowed down to Amorim and Matthias Jaissle, with the pendulum now swinging decisively in Amorim’s favor.
Amorim Agrees to Terms and Salary with Milan
According to renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Amorim has accepted all personal terms proposed by AC Milan.
-
Salary Details: The Portuguese manager’s annual salary will not exceed €4 million.
-
The Matthias Jaissle Alternative: Negotiations with Jaissle were far less smooth. Furthermore, Milan would have had to pay a €5 million release clause to Saudi Pro League club Al-Ahli to secure the German coach.
Currently, Amorim is simply waiting for the final green light from the AC Milan board to sign the contract and make the move official.
Other Managers Linked to the San Siro Job
Before settling on Amorim, the Italian giants explored several high-profile options:
-
Mauricio Pochettino (USMNT Manager)
-
Sebastian Hoeneß (VfB Stuttgart Manager)
Ultimately, Milan executives look set to finalize a deal with Amorim, betting on his tactical brilliance that brought immense success at Sporting CP, while looking past his challenging tenure at Manchester United.
