Ruben Amorim, the former Manchester United head coach, is reportedly the leading candidate to take over at AC Milan. This development comes as the Serie A club undergoes a significant restructuring following their failure to qualify for the Champions League. The appointment of Amorim is part of a thorough process, with Milan exploring various options to rebuild their coaching staff. The club initially targeted Andoni Iraola, but the plan changed when Liverpool appointed him as Arne Slot's replacement. Other names considered include Mauricio Pochettino, Oliver Glasner, Matthias Jaissle, and Sebastian Hoeness. The role of a head of football, above the prospective head coach, is being filled by Ralf Rangnick. Milan's poor performance in the previous season, finishing fifth in Serie A and missing out on the Champions League, led to the sacking of Massimiliano Allegri and other key personnel. Amorim's time at Manchester United was short-lived, as he was dismissed after just a few months due to tensions with the club's director of football, Jason Wilcox, over his 3-4-3 system. Despite his success in Portugal with Sporting CP, winning two Primeira Liga titles, Amorim's managerial career at United ended in disappointment. The question now is whether he can turn things around at Milan and lead them back to success in the Champions League.
